We have been delighted to find that Bristol is such a people-friendly place. It is a good mix of historic architecture and modernity. The harbour area has been totally converted into areas of open spaces and trees.
There are cycle paths everywhere and lots of green spaces. Bristol was bombed mercilessly during WW2, which seems to have resulted in an opportunity to create a more spacious layout in the harbour area. One of the great steamships, the SS Great Britain is now permanently docked here as a tourist attraction. The steamships were much faster and had more carrying capacity than the sailing ships when they were first produced, but ultimately became too expensive to compete against the newer diesel powered ships.
Bristol has a nice buzz, and is populated by lots of young people.
