Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Cheddar Gorge & Caves

"Ah the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the structure that makes Bristol complete. Built in 1831 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the suspension bridge is one of Bristol’s most recognisable structures. Spanning 214 metres over the River Avon, Brunel marked a major turning point in the history of the city with this bridge that has become an icon of engineering ambition."

"This icon of the city of Bristol is certainly one of the world’s most impressive feats of engineering. It has been attracting admiring visitors for the past 150 years. This is above all, one the best things to do in Bristol with your kids."

"Crossing the Avon, the Palladian Pulteney Bridge is the work of the Scottish architect Robert Adam and dates to 1774. The monument grabs your attention for the rows of shops along its 45-metre span and is of the most photographed monuments in Bath’s World Heritage centre. The bridge is named for Frances Pulteney, the wife of William Pulteney, who funded this and many other projects around the city, and was rumoured to have been the richest man in Britain at the time."

"Pulteney Bridge situated on River Avon is an exceptional Palladian style designed by Robert Adam. This Palladian style, one of only four bridges in the world, is lined with small shops across its full span on both sides. This historic bridge is named after Frances Pulteney, wife of William Johnstone Pulteney, an influential man in Georgian Bath."

"Cathedrals are always a good place to take photos and Bristol Cathedral is happy for you to snap away as long as you don't do it during a service. Again there are plenty of options available here from shooting the Cathedral from the outside on College Green or playing with the light, lines and atmospherics inside. PHOTO TIP: When shooting stained glass windows try to keep your camera as still as possible using a tripod or if you've not got one to hand, rest your camera on a pew."

"Bristol Cathedral was founded in 1140, but has been built upon and renovated over the centuries. The cathedral features impressive gothic-style architecture and has played an important part in Bristol’s history. The first female Church of England priests were ordained here."

"The Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity (to give it its formal name), Bristol’s Cathedral is a sumptuous piece of Gothic architecture that feels …"

"What better weather to sit on a rooftop terrace and sip Pimms?.

"Inside Bristol University’s Wills Memorial Building you can visit the 7th largest bell in the UK as part of their regular tours. Whilst on the tour, climb to the top of the 66 metre (215ft) tower and enjoy 360 degree views of Bristol. Tickets are £5 and all profits raised are donated to Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal."

"Completed in 1925, this neo-Gothic structure is 65.5 metres tall and was built as a memorial to the Bristol philanthropist and tobacco tycoon Henry Overton Wills III by his sons. The structure is one of the University of Bristol’s landmark buildings."

"Venerated since the Iron Age, Glastonbury Tor is an isolated sandstone hill over the Somerset Levels. With almost precipitous slopes that have strange, man-made terracing, the hill crests at 158 metres and is topped by the roofless St Michael’s Tower, the last fragment of a 14th-century church torn down in the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was during this event in 1593 that the Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey, Richard Whiting was hanged, drawn and quartered here for treason due to his loyalty to Rome."

"We are very lucky in Bath to have so many wonderful parks: Alexandra Park, with stunning views over the city; Royal Victoria Park, with the largest and best playground in the area, as well as duck ponds, botanical gardens and barbeque picnic areas; Parade Gardens, with views of Pulteney Bridge and the weir. “My favourite is Henrietta Park – an oasis of peace and calm in the centre of the city. The park was opened in 1897 to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, with land donated by Captain Forester of Bathwick, with the stipulation that it should always remain a green space and never be built on."

"When you walk in Henrietta Park you might think it is a normal park with nice trees and a lot... Attractions / Parks, Gardens & Boating"

"This park and playground gets great reviews from local parents, who often head here on a Saturday morning. Around 30 minutes from the city centre it has lots of new play equipment, including some impressive climbing frames for older kids."

"This Victorian park is home to football pitches, tennis courts, a bowling green and an impressive children's play area. The play area has equipment for both young children and children aged between eight and 12."

"This 11th-century structure has been an important aspect of the history and culture of Bristol for a long time. It’s been rebuilt and repaired several times, which has added to its beauty and glorious outward and inward appearance. It also contains tombs, burials, and monuments that may be of interest to you."

"This church seems slightly out of place, hiding away in its own garden right off busy Corn St in the city centre. The fairly small but incredibly pretty building was first built in 1248, was rebuilt 1470 and again in 1703, after a lot of damage caused by the Great Storm."

"More than anything else, Rocotillos (situated on the Clifton Triangle) is famous for its indulgent milkshakes, some of which are so thick they could be used to build houses. With both a bar and booths, it is often populated by hung-over locals who are intent on recovering from the previous night’s excesses. Brunches are cheap and large, and include the Ten Gallon Tex’s serious fry-up (a gigantic steak) and follow it up with a Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough or Phish Food milkshake."

"Tyntesfield is a stately home located just outside Bristol featuring beautiful gothic-style architecture set amongst gorgeous and peaceful gardens. The home is part of the Tyntesfield estate which is home to flower displays, a lake, and plenty of woodland to get lost in. Begin your journey through Tyntesfield at the house, constructed from 1843 into the current building standing tall on the estate."

"This spectacular National Trust house is surrounded by beautiful grounds, making it a wonderful day out whatever the weather. Explore the history of the house through a “behind the scenes”tour, or just opt to explore a few rooms yourself. But it’s the grounds which the children will enjoy the most."

"Stepping back in time for ‘a very Victorian Christmas’ yesterday. It’s a shame the tickets to the house were all sold out by the time we got there, but we still got to sample just a little bit of the magic."

"About: Located in Cabot Circus, Piccolino serves the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood that reflect pure Italian flavours. The restaurant offers a wonderful combination of both modern and classic Italian dishes prepared in an open kitchen in full view of diners. With three alfresco areas to chose from; a winterised terrace at the front of the restaurant which can be used year round, two summer terraces- one at the side of the restaurant and a terrace & bar in the square, providing the perfect place to take a break from shopping and enjoy a relaxing drink or bite to eat with friends."

"Piccolino in Bristol captures the spirit of Italy with its great food, unrivalled style and vibrant, charming character. Located in the striking new development of Cabot Circus, Piccolino is enhanced by its own equally eye-catching exterior, together…"
