Visit Bristol have a “Summer Specials” section in their website with details of hotel offers and discounted attractions tickets. There is also information about festivals and events such as the Bristol Harbour Festival and the Festival of the Tree. I liked the suggestion of a canoe safari to see the wildlife at close quarters at the Slimbridge Wetland Centre. located between Bristol and Gloucester.

I stayed in Bristol in a family room at the Youth Hostel a converted warehouse for a few days with one of our sons a few years ago. The Youth Hostel was in a very central location close to the harbour.

I really liked Bristol, we enjoyed walking around the parks, the harbour and Clifton Bridge. However don’t take your car to Bristol, there’s a congested one way system and it’s expensive to park. Have you visited Bristol, what did you most enjoy about your visit?
