Itinerario
Millennium Square is on a site known as Canon’s Marsh. This was originally marshy land found where the river Frome, flowing from the North-East, joined the Avon, flowing from the East. The land was drained and built on in the early 18th Century. Dive deep in all it's rich history.
The amphitheatre is popular with skateboarders and you may see some whilst you are here. This is one part of the city where skateboarders are able to ride, whereas in other places you will see anti-skateboarding architecture. Learn all about the historical past and the importance of this awesome place here!
Pero’s bridge opened in 1999 and was named in honour of an important local figure in Bristol. But who was this important figure? Why the Bridge has a pair of horn-shaped sculptures? Helen will answer all these questions and give you the whole story on her tour.
During the Middle Ages, a harbour was developed along the riverside at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Frome. This stood in the approximate location of the present-day fountains. Hear this awesome tale and some recommendations worth visiting around this beautiful area.
College Green is a popular area for people to congregate in the city. Here you will learn about an important Church (Abbey), some works of art of an extremely famous artist, another beautiful chapel and a museum. Tag along!
In the past, King Street would have been a busy place, with the hustle and bustle of ship captains, traders and ship workers moving goods back and forth between boats and stores. Imagine these scenes while you hear Helen's awesome stories.
Queen’s Square is a Georgian park surrounded by trees and cobbled streets. This area used to be marshland that was used for dumping rubbish and weaponry practice. Houses were built here from 1699, beginning with the south side of the square.
This would have been a busy area in the past and remains busy to this day. This area is a bustling hub in the evening, with bars and fine restaurants, some of which are on boats. But what about its unusual name? What does it say about it's history?
Castle Park is the site of the old castle and Bristol’s medieval settlement. Discover its bristling history with Helen.
This stop has a good view of the Bristol Bridge, with St Peter’s, St Nicholas’ and St Mary Le Port churches in the background. The Bristol Bridge is believed to have been the place where the settlement of Bristol began. Relax, watch and listen to Helen's stories here.
This part of the city is called Redcliffe. The church that you see today is not the original; the church from Henry I’s time fell into disrepair and was rebuilt in the 14th century.
Redcliffe is named after the bright red Triassic sandstone rocks that can be seen from where you’re standing. Houses along Redcliffe Wharf are built above a cave system leading all the way back to St Mary Redcliffe church.

About Bristol
Bristol is a harbour city in south-west England, known for the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Brunel's SS Great Britain, street art and a creative streak.
Bristol grew rich as a port on the Avon, and the floating harbour at its heart is lined with museums, warehouses turned into flats, and cafés. Brunel's SS Great Britain, the pioneering iron steamship, sits in the dry dock where she was built, and nearby are the M Shed museum and Aerospace Bristol, home to a Concorde. Above the Avon Gorge, Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge spans the cliffs, with lawns and Georgian terraces on the Clifton side.
Top-ranked sights in Bristol: Smoke & Mirrors, Brunel's SS Great Britain, Cabot Tower.
