There are many interesting attractions in Bristol, that can be seen while staying in Bath.

Another major attraction is Brunel's SS Great Britain. The ship which was built in Bristol was launched in 1843 and was the world’s first ocean going iron ship driven by a propeller.

The ship had been used as a liner, cargo vessel and troop ship before being abandoned in Falklands Islands. After over thirty years she was salvaged in 1970 and towed back to Bristol. Following restoration the ship is no on display in the dockyard that she was built in allowing visitors to see what life was like as a passenger.

 
 

Bristol as a city has many different areas and particularly at weekend is quite a cosmopolitan city with its viborant nightlife bars and clubs, and active university, the quay area offers many bars and restaurants, popular with students, and the nearby old back streets behind the old fish market house many exciting pubs and bars. With the indoor market a unique array of individual small shops  hosting a treasure trove of products, well worth a visit!
