Holiday Properties in Bristol

Bristol is a city in the South West of England. It is England's sixth largest city and lies on either side of the banks of the River Avon. It is a fantastic destination for nightlife, the Arts and shopping, making it the perfect place for a city short break holiday rental.

The region is well known for its association with the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and many examples of his work can be found throughout Bristol - the most famous being the SS Great Britain steamship and the Clifton Suspension Bridge, an impressive structure which spans the heights of the Avon Gorge.

The recently revamped centre of Bristol has plenty of quality shops, eateries and attractions and is popular with tourists. Bristol is also known for its zoo - one of the oldest in England, as well as its famous international balloon festival held every August.

Other places to see in Bristol include the historic Bristol Old Vic, the Watershed Media Centre, the Arnolfini gallery and arts centre and the national nature reserve of Leigh Woods. Take a trip on the Bristol Harbour Railway or a scenic walk through the Blaise Castle estate. All these attractions make Bristol the perfect place for a Culture and History Short break as well as being ideal for a city based, family self-catering holiday.
