Put on your running shoes on, Bristol is well worth a run. In this city, maritime history blends with boundless cultural energy. Climb Brandon Hill (and if you're feeling brave, the spiral staircase up the tower is worth the effort for its panoramic views of the city), then delve into its rich past by exploring the historic docks. You'll pass by the SS Great Britain and discover all the docks, old train lines, preserved cranes and renovated neighbourhoods. Cross the bridge that winds over the River Avon to reach Castle Park and the ruins of the church, before exploring the narrow streets of the old town.
