I'm a Meader in the last bit of my life. Living as I do next to the hospital Bristol is beautiful . Bless you all and have a wonderful life.
Bristol is home ❤ I will never forget the harbourside and Saturday nights clubbing in Park Street. I travelled the world, but I only decided to stop and stay in Bristol. Bristol owns me.
Che spettacolo! That's beautiful :) Thanks for sharing Federico :)
@@theintrepidguide *cries in Bristolian*
Students ruin bristol🖕
Which country are you from if you don't mind?
Your mentally ill get help!!!
I live here and I still found this very interesting!
Aww thanks David 😀
What a dump
@@prestcoldandy910 dude we know
but at least we got relatively clean air
I’ve been in the geological department of Bristol museum they have a full kronosaurus skeleton, scelidosaur skin and last meal and it’s own dinosaur also I didn’t know about the city currency I’ll go check that out
Bristol, one of the biggest loves of my life.
I can see why :) I loved it too!
I worked in Bristol between Oct 1999 to Oct 2003, a beautiful city....
That’s great! Must’ve been a wonderful experience 😀
Love bristol, was born here amd will die here
It was still good then, it's changed a lot since then. Went downhill after 2009.
It's weird seeing places I see regularly in real life on screen
Haha yeah. It’s like it’s from a movie 🍿
@@theintrepidguide Bristol's never been featured in any film I've ever seen, it's always only London. They should make more films take place in Bristol.
Jaffa Shibe I don’t think they should. No one is really interested in Bristol
@@jaffa3717 These were all filmed in bristol: filmbristol.co.uk/filmed-in-bristol/
Yes its really weird😂
Wow, I am more impressed by your style of presenting Bristol than Bristol, and it is an amazing place. You did a great job mentioning the background of places and their history, I like that, it's not just a pretty place, it actually has history behind it. You've earned a new subscriber :)
That is incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you so much Ahmed :)
It was an amazing place years ago but then the immigrants started coming here and then years later the liberal left wing weirdos started moving in and now it's a s**t hole. Immigrants and liberals are still increasing and things are getting worse. Most true bristolians don't want these people here and it is so sad to see what Bristol has become. As you mentioned though we do have lots of history which is really great but some of it is under attack by mainly the type of scum I mentioned. The young lady who did this video did a very good job and it would be very helpful for tourists so well done to her!
Good health and happiness to my fellow Brizzlers!
Alright me luver. Cheers drive!
Brazzers
never have i ever heard my fellow Bristolian call another Bristolian "brazzer"
@@ultimate_pleb same never heard someone with a Bristolian accent or any British accent short of granny’s friends despite living here since before I was born
@@DreadEnder same
I love Bristol! ❤️
I’m a Korean student and I’m going to Bristol as an exchange student this fall semester! I’m really looking forward to it😆 Thanks for an excellent video :)

Its an amazing city. I am 26 and was born here and live here, best city in UK by far and many people agree
I’m a teenager from Hong Kong and I spent about a month in Bristol last summer. I lived with a local family and explored this beautiful city, and i definitely loved it!!! hope you’ll have a great time:))
Wow, lived in Bristol for 26 years and some of this information was new to me! What a great insight - can’t wait to be able to explore again x
Thank you so much Cristy
Thanks very much for your tour of Bristol. I've lived here all my life and never knew some of the things you said! Much love. Respect x

Good stuff thanks :) I've lived in Bristol for 22 years and some of this was news to me!
Thank you so much :) I'm so happy you learned something new ;)
It seems that in my first time in Europe I'll arrive to Bristol, thanks a lot for all these tips. Great video!
Amazing! That's so wonderful to hear. Thank you so much for your feedback. Have a wonderful trip :)
That's a very good idea
Thanks for all this information, it helps me more in my research and what I really want to see in just a few days in this amazing city.
I love Bristol (and also drum and bass
So glad you enjoyed it :)
I'm from Enfield although I live in Norfolk now and honestly I came too this vid out of curiosity as Bristol is 1 of those places I would hear about but never knew what it looked like. Now that I've seen it, it's definitely not what I expected it's beautiful
Takes me back to my childhood where visits to Bristol, Clifton, the Gorge, the indoor arcades, Christmas Steps and of course the late-departed Zoo were highly anticipated treats. Very much hope to get back one day, it looks as vibrant as ever. Very good guide, I'll certainly be looking out for your other presentations. Great work!
Thank you so much 😊
Very well done. Clear, informative,no cutesy talk. I learned a lot . Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words 😀
You should have included the St Mary Redcliff Church that building is excellent
My Old School.. St Mary Redcliff..😁
Watching this on my way to Bristol… you are saving my day! Thanks 😊
Amazing! Have a wonderful visit :)
WoW Thanks for your video ! Excited to visit Bristol from Japan !
My pleasure 😇 yay! That’s exciting! Have a wonderful trip 😁
Bristol looks beautiful! Such a gorgeous city! I recently discovered I have family living there. We connected over the weekend!
How wonderful! Hope you can visit them soon
I was born in Bristol and Lived in Clifton when England last won the world cup. I was in Bristol from the 28th Aug 22 and only came back from Bristol in the last 4hrs. I Love Bristol and I can say its one of the best cities in the UK. I currently live in Basingstoke
I think it was better in the 2000's, too many over priced shops from London now.
Love this! This vlog is exactly what made me book my trip to Bristol and start up vlogging again! I just ADORE the detail you went into and it made Bristol look like a gorgeous place to visit! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Wow! What a compliment! Thank you so much :) I really appreciate your kind words of support :)
@@theintrepidguide well it’s true!!! I thought Bristol looked gorgeous in this video! Thanks for the inspiration. My vlog isn’t quite as well put together as this and the weather was terrible but we still had a great time! Thanks again!
@@BellaDiary Thank you :) I struggled with the weather too and had to extend my stay because of it so I totally understand. I hope you had a lovely time :)
@@theintrepidguide awww we did thank you so much! Yes! I shared, liked your video and subscribed! Keep doing what you’re doing :)
@@BellaDiary That's very kind of you, Sam. Really appreciate your support :) Thank you
Great guide of this great city. With regards to the nails by St. Nick's market - deals were done 'on the nail' - hence the expression.
Ok, now take a tour thru easton, St. Paul’s, St. George, fishponds and Lawrence hill
They won’t make it
Dan Tayler that’s where I’m from lol
St Paul's is actually not too bad now. I've been very unfortunate to visit hartcliffe, Whitchurch, stockwood, hengrove etc. No go areas
Stephen easton, St. Paul’s and lawrence hill arent that bad. But st George is dreadful
Visit south mead 😂
So happy you mentioned Giovanni cabotto x
I miss Bristol and living in Bristol ❤️ love everything about it. Great video :)
Bristol is a fantastic place! I’ve visited many times down from Scotland, and will be visiting again in July! 😄
Are you mad, Bristol as become a shyt hole!! My daughter left bristol 3years ago to acquire her masters degree in Glasgow She is now a doctor of sociology and as never returned, Making a better life in a wonder city, With lock lomond on the doorstep, The last true wilderness in the British isles, Book an appointment at spec savers, And next you feel the urge to explore around bristol! May I suggest places like Euston, st Paul's,Fish ponds,Hartclife,Withywood,To name a few!! Or is that a step to far!!!
Definitely the best video for Bristol. Planning a trip once the plague is over and want to do Bristol and Cardiff. I hope you have a Cardiff video as well!
Love this video, too 🙂

Thank you so much :)
All these places look amazing! I need to get to Bristol ASAP!
It really is a fantastic city. So much to see, do, eat and learn 🤓🤩
Britain on a Budget I live here it is not all that great
Go to Bath instead. Bristol is a bit shit.
What do you mean? I am born in Bristol and have live here the past 26 years, definitely better than most UK cities!
Great video !! I plan to visit Bristol in the near future and I will certainly go back to your video to plan my stay. Great introduction to Bristol in general too 😊

Amazing job! Great vid
Thank you so much 😊
Very interesting and very useful for tourists.
Great intel for my upcoming trip
Very polished and professional.
streetlegalone Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate the feedback 😉
The best way to get to Ashton Court is to walk over the Suspension Bridge and just walk straight for half a mile. Miss that place
So far the most useful guide to visit Bristol
For any new visitors / residents - local things to see: Cheddar Gorge, Chew Valley Lake, Brean Sands, Clevedon pier, Bath - gorgeous, Combe Grove spa near Bath, explore Devon and Cornwall for sure (Woolacombe, Sennen Cove, Kynance, Porthcurno and Portchapel beaches - so much to see).... And in Bristol itself - The Downs is a lovely park. Enjoy!
so pleased to call bristol my home
Thansk for sharing!
Excellent video 👌
Love this video, too 🙂
Check out my new city walk channel, please 🙏
Thank you
The city is so beautiful 😍😍
That depends on which part of Bristol you visit.
Great video!
Thank you so much Gergely 😍
We''ll allow the 'royal park crescent' slip up ......as your presentation was generally excellent; although living in Bristol for 4 years, this was insightful. However there is so much more to see
and fall in love with here (off the beaten track ! )
Very good video, thanks
I'm from London buto Bristol often. I love whenever I go to Bristol, it's actually my best place out of London. Love stokes croft.
My home town. This is a fantastic video. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much :) So glad you like it!
Hey . I’m in Sri Lanka Atm and have been living in Uk in Crawley with my mum. But because of family reasons I want to back to Uk but live on my own.
Is Bristol is good place to live for a 22 year old. Or you recommend any other places? Manchester or Birmingham 🤷🏽♂️
MR 360 3STYL hi 👋. Bristol is amazing for a 22 year old. We have two major universities so absolutely loads of young people and loads to do from pubs, clubs, outdoor activities, arts, places to eat I grow up here and I still have loads to do. Bristol is a bit like a mini London but way way better 👍
@@MRSTYL-cc6sl Yes, Bristol is definitely a wonderful city. Before I visited, many people I know said they would live their which is the main reason why I visited :)
The Intrepid Guide ohhhh ok I see. I’m a bit nervous 😅 coz I won’t know anyone . But hey that’s what being an adult is 🤷🏽♂️. You know any towns or locations best to stay.
Oh and I don’t know whether to stay in Sri Lanka until end of August or should I come beginning of August coz of corona?
I could come in August and waste it not finding a job
The nails are how the expression " cash on the nail" came about,😁 good video BTW lived here and visited many times , but still found a few new locations in your video😁
This was very interesting thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it😀 Thank you for your kind words 💚
Awesome 👍
Awesome , go on .
Thank you 😊
I was actually planned to go to Bristol for study abroad! Sadly, Covid hit in early 2020 and all programs got cancelled.
I still plan to go to Bristol one day! Maybe not as a student, but as a traveler.
Never been to Bristol to I’ve always viewed it as a cool place for young people 👍
This is really useful because I’ll be going to Bristol uni next year!
Oh that's wonderful! Good luck! Bristol is awesome :)
wow
What a great video. I visited Bristol a while back but it looks like there is a lot I missed out on. Better plan a trip there again 😁

Appreciated the information on John Cabot, from Nova Scotia where the world-famous 'Cabot Trail' in Cape Breton Highlands lays claim that John Cabot also visited this part of Nova Scotia as well as Newfoundland, to 'discover' this part of North America.
Thanks Maya. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was definitely something I enjoyed Lear about myself 😁
Wish to live here soon
