Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin

Georgian townhouses, smart delis and independent restaurants all rub shoulders in small but perfectly formed Clifton Village, a very walkable neighbourhood that winds its way across to the gaping chasm of Avon Gorge.

Clifton is one of the safest, cleanest and most relaxed of Bristol’s neighbourhoods – ideal for weekend strolling or a spot of brunch if you want to escape the crowds but still do a spot of well-heeled people watching.

Cross towering Clifton Suspension Bridge as you make your way for a walk around the rolling green acres and woodlands of Ashton Court Estate, surely the city’s finest park, or pop to nearby Clifton Observatory for a tour.
