Fascinating and amusing tour today. Great Bristolian guide and the views of Bristol from the top are amazing. We stood right next to Great George (the bell) as it chimed midday, earplugs provided! Would highly recommend, and hope to go back for a night time...More

Beautiful building

Really beautiful building situated at the top of park street right next door to the museum, which is also really good (and free!). Also within close proximity to shops and restaurants. A nice afternoon out :)
