Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Longleat Safari Park

"About: Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of the world's greatest bridges and has been attracting visitors from all over the globe for the last 150 years. An architectural marvel, the bridge spans the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset. Facilities: A Visitor Information Centre is situated at the Leigh Woods end of the bridge."

"Where usually Clifton Suspension Bridge dominates Bristol’s skyline, you can also see some excellent views of Avon Gorge and Bristol’s rooftops from the bridge itself. Personally, we’d recommend coming here at night so that you can see all the sparkling lights of Bristol… it’s very pretty and won’t cost you a penny!. A must for first time visitors…"

"Pulteney Bridge is one of only a few bridges in the world that has shops across its full span on both sides; it also happens to be a great place to get a drink. Take a wander across first of all, to look back on lovely arches and the weir in front. Then head back for the view from the bridge itself."

"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."

"Built originally as the church of the Saint Augustine Abbey, Bristol Cathedral took almost 600 years to achieve its present form. The east end, superbly rebuilt in the Decorated style by Abbot Knowle, dates from between 1298 and 1330. The central tower and transepts were completed in the 16th century, and the nave and towered west facade are from the 19th century."

"Bristol Cathedral isn’t as large or imposing as other UK city Cathedrals, but it’s still worth visiting. Founded in 1140, Bristol Cathedral has long been a site of historical significance in the city. It’s free to enter and explore."

"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."

"You can find this church at South Parade, which is a central location in the city of Bath. It holds more than 150 years of history and offers a quiet and conducive atmosphere for all kinds of people to stay. Outside of the church, you can see how it dominates the skyline and is different from other buildings because of the gothic style."

"The Eastwood Farm Nature Reserve is a lovely place for an afternoon stroll very close to Bristol centre. It’s located in Brislington, on the edge of the River Avon. Here, you’ll have the chance to stroll through woodland and enjoy vast open space, as well as look out for animals like kingfishers, herons, swans and squirrels."

"Brunel’s SS Great Britain – once the longest passenger ship in the world – is one of Bristol’s most iconic landmarks, and for good reason. Billed as the ‘ship that changed the world’, she epitomises not only Bristolian maritime history, but British maritime history, famed for being ahead of her time and the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic. A trip to the onboard museum tells the tale of how she completed the Atlantic voyage in 14 days, an impressive feat back in 1845, and how she also carried thousands of immigrants to Australia."

"SS Great Britain in Bristol (Photo: Flickr) Bristol is located along the River Avon and the old industrial port is now home to lively restaurants and museums. There are a lot of great museums and cultural areas of the city to walk around. If you arrive there with a rough plan, you’ll be able to get around to everything you want to see in just two days in Bristol."

"You should also try one of the city's most recent additions to the supper club scene, such as those hosted by Masterchef winner Ping Coombes at the Good Bear Cafe (pingspantry@gmail.com) or perhaps The Second Breakfast Club(info@thesecondbreakfastclub.com), which launched at The Curfew pub and offers truly special brunches, including dishes such as gooseberry-cured hake gravadlax. • The best restaurants and cafés in Bath"
