In the summer months, you can enjoy a panoramic sunset over the downs and the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Regardless of the season, the views from the Clifton Observatory do not really get much better than this. Avoid if raining (just saying).

If you’ve got a dog then you should certainly make sure you do a couple of laps of the Clifton Downs. In the winter make sure you wrap up warm as it can get pretty breezy.

In the summer months, it also plays host to many big events such as Bristol Pride & more recently Josh Eggleton’s Breaking Bread foodie pop-up.

Known for its boutique and high-end homeware shops and brimming with restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs, this is a must wander for anyone staying at one of our serviced apartments in Clifton.

One of the most unusual but oddly endearing things in the area is the Old Clifton Rocks Railway.

It is currently in a rather long phase of being restored so might be one to add to your list for a later date on your return.

You’ll find Bristol Museum & Art Gallery next to Wills Memorial Building at the top of Park Street/on the Clifton Triangle. With lots of unusual things on display in there, it certainly is a must if you are into finding out more about the local culture.

If you’re into Cathedrals (not really our thing) but this one isn’t your typical steeple or spire. Clifton Cathedral is worth a wander or pointing out if you are passing by.

You’ll find Wills Memorial Building Tower at the top of Park Street on the Clifton Triangle. It is part of the Bristol University Campus and has famously been used for filming in blockbusters like Harry Potter.
