This Gothic church is visually stunning from the distance. Get closer and discover wonderfully carved decoration. Go inside and marvel at the rich 19th century stained glass, eye-catching roof bosses and cornices, marble monuments - and much more.

Much more interesting than the rather bland cathedral. Picturesque, full of history. Not too far to walk from town either. Glad I was staying around there and thought to take a look.

This is a pinnacle of the bristol skyline and a gothic masterpiece, luckily for me I get to walk passed the church everyday on my way to work. Have visited the church and viewed the inside which is a impressive as the outide view, I highly recommend viewing this for yourself.

Nice church, beautifully maintained, warm welcome. We had a good look around, but spent most of our time having a (late) breakfast in the downstairs cafe. The Arc Cafe does lovely breakfasts and is run by staff and volunteers from the Addiction Recovery Agency. They had an eye for detail, cooked a superb English breakfast (not at all greasy), were...

Intrically-built church with so much to see it's a good idea to bring a sandwich to eat in the grounds! An amazing clock that's well-worth the trip to see..

At the time I visited, there was a cafe as part of the premises, with good food and welcoming staff. The church is quite close to Brunel's Temple Meads station and where the replica of Cabot's ship the Matthew was built. Again superb architecture, and one of Bristol's favourite quiet spots

I went to see a music sound performance with spoken word elements, but know the church well, having visited many times. It's great that the church is used for secular activities.

It's a must-see for everyone who visits Bristol. This medieval church is close to Temple Meads railway station, so it's easy to find even if you come from a near town

Dont be deceived by the fact that this called a Church, it is more like a Cathedral! It is only round the corner from Temple Meads station and is a huge and interesting space. Also you get a warm welcome and background information from the people who help there.
