Shopping
This road is jam-packed with local, independent shops, cafes and restaurants. In fact it has the most independent shops of any street in the country so if you love shabby chic, retro and vintage or grabbing a bargain in a charity shop, then this area is a must-visit for you. Also great bars and restaurants at night-time.

Lovely woods you can walk to from our house, great for dog walking and nice easy trail, can push buggies and scoot down the trail. If you walk for 45 mins (or maybe less) you can go through to Blaise Castle (not really a castle!) with a couple of great playground, including a huge adventure playground for bigger kids. You can drive to Blaise Castle too in about 10 mins

Sightseeing
Newly refurbished, great sights of the city and the suspension bridge. Anyone who has grown up in Bristol will also know the 'slidey rock' just next to the Observatory - it's a natural rock slide worn super-smooth by generations of Bristolian bottoms.

King Street is the home of Craft Beer in Bristol. There are 4 or 5 great craft ale pubs and bars, including Small Bar, The Royal Naval Volunteer, Kongs, and The Beer Emporium. When you get hungry try the pizzas at Renatos, which is a Bristol institution and serves pizzas into the early hours.

Great interactive museum, next to Wapping Wharf (loads of great bars and restaurants). Great for kids, life size bus you can get on, lots of fund things to press and play with and kids play area. Nice cafe but often a really long wait and a bit overpriced! We'd go to Wapping Wharf instead to eat/drink! - Free
