Is Brizzle Really The Best Place in The UK?

Tekijä: Tripnista


If you don't know what 'Brizzle' means it's just 'Bristol' but with an accent on it!

And if you don't know where Bristol is in relation to London it's here:

Now I've got to admit… if I was ever to move back and Settle in England the only place I'd move to would, without a shadow of a doubt, be Bristol.

Bristol to me is the perfect location to settle down.

It's large enough for a city that it has everything you'd possibly need. But on the flip side it's also small enough that you can very easily hop on your push bike and zip around without the need of a car. It's like the Edinburgh of England.

More than that, in relation to the rest of the country, it's in the perfect spot. From Bristol you've only got to drive a short distance before you're in Magical places such as Gloucestershire, Wales and Herefordshire.

Living in a city that's got easy access to both the coastline and the countryside, allowing you the possibility of a whole host of outdoors adventures, is pretty rare - no matter where you're from.

Also with Bristol having its own airport you're able to hop across the channel into Europe for next to nothing. And if you're using Bristol as a point to leave the UK there are tonnes of really good hotels that you can stay in the night before departure.

But it's not just the size, atmosphere, location or people that make Bristol so special. It's also the fact that there are tons of cool things to do and see in this awesome city.

Basically… it's the best place to live in the UK.

For example some random but fun things to check out in Brizzle that don't involve going out for dinner or heading to the Boozer include:

Bristol Lido

I don't know why but there's something really English about outdoor open air swimming pools (aka. Lido's). And Bristol's Lido is no exception. The public hot tub which was Originally built in 1849 has now been fully restored and is back to its steamy best. There are also the additional options of spa and massage treatments if you want to push the boat out!

St Nicholas Market

If you ever travel to the UK one of the things you have to do is go to a local market. And for all those market lovers out there if you're visiting Bristol you have to head to the St Nicholas Market on Corn Street. You'll easily be able to spend your afternoon just strolling and browsing music shops, book shops and even candles makers. And if you go around lunch time there are loads of stores where you can pick up some tasty treats!

Clifton Suspension Bridge

You can't go to Bristol and not visit the Suspension Bridge. It's basically the Golden Gate Bridge of England. If you walk across it you'll get some amazing views of the Avon Gorge. It's also a great place to check out in the evenings when the bridge is illuminated from below. Just don't forget to take your camera!

The M-Shed

Again, this is a random but 'must do' thing for tourists! This is Bristol's flag ship museum which gives you a great overview of Bristol and its roots. It's a fun, family friendly, interactive museum. And best of all…. the museum's totally free.

So even if you are not going to live in the UK and just come over for a holiday please, please don't spend all your time in London. Get on a train, bus or into your Hired car and spend some time in Bristol.
