[David and Sally]

Thinking of a few days there this month.
Is it worth a visit? We like a wander into town, some local pubs and restaurants (CV aware of course)

 

[f6c]

Yes its worth it City center 20 mins walk Other pubs just round the corner.

 

[David and Sally]

Maybe we should go and choose our new apartment?

 

[AndyPK]

Make sure you’ve got a bike or an electric car!

(I’ve just read the article in the paper.....)

If you get the chance then GO!

It is the most fabulous city but I fear that much of it will have COVID-19 restrictions.

There is a river taxi from outside the site into town during the day.

I still have a week booked there for the Christmas market but I doubt it will happen

Many happy memories over the last 15 years that I have been visiting.

 

[Caggsie1]

Definitely worth a visit. We try and go at least once a year.

Last time we bought a runabout tour bus ticket. seemed expensive but the first day we did the tour and next day used it to hop on and off all around the city.

Wasn’t the original proposal to redevelop the site for a school?

Property developers will always trump essentials such as schools and hospitals. More brown envelopes involved

No not in Bristol surly

 

[barsteward]

Shame, one of the best located urban area sites I've ever visited.

 

[hymerman]

Great city, bus stop outside, but the city metro buses don't accept cash. Sign of the times, you have to buy a ticket from the machine at the bus stop.

 

[David and Sally]

We stayed at a CL between Bath and Bristol. Buses to both.
Much preferred Bristol.

We have stayed twice since July for a few days on way south lovely city plenty to see do.You can walk up to Clifton suspension bridge just over half hour from site.

 

[two]

Go.
Covid may make a big difference - there was always something going on. Otherwise there's plenty to see and the open-top bus ride is a good intro (weather permitting).

 

[PeteH]

Used it many a time, when we lived in Yeovil back in the 80`s and 90`s we used it every year for Christmas shopping. Several years on the trot, the I Mar-E dinner was held on the Great Britain. I used to book a couple of nights on Baltic Wharf, Nice short walk and no Drink drive!. Its a sad loss to greed.

 

[AXO66]

Always have a great time in Brizzle.

just the right buzz for a few days and nights

couldn’t live there though , too many houses , streets etc etc etcc.

 

[TheBig1]

stupid to press ahead with that project with the current climate and financial crunch looming. Like many other projects, I can see the current landscaping destroyed and then the money will dry up leaving an eyesore for years. At least as it is, then the land is making a difference and bringing money and tourists to the city

We’ve found it quite the opposite. We used to use the Long Ashton Park and Ride, £4.50 for both of us, 20 minutes tops to our stop.

Since the inception of Metrobus, £9 for two of us, 40 minutes to get to our stop.

5 hours in one of the main centre car parks, £6.30........we drive into the centre now.

Just avoid certain areas

St Paul’s for one

And why might that be?

 

[PeteH]

 

[Silver-Fox]

And why might that be?

My guess is you’ve never been there.

Give it a miss if you can

Easton is a place to be avoided night or day

 

[olley]

And why might that be?

We used one of the multi-story carparks about 10 years ago when we visited, went back late and walked past some druggies shooting up, bit scary to honest couldn't get in the car and get out of there quickly enough.

 

[TheMachMan]

Love staying here. Will sorely be missed when it does finally shut.
Though Last month some scrote tried sawing through the lock securing our bikes to the back of our van whilst we were sleeping. Luckily disturbed him and he legged it.
