A game of rugby at Bristol Bears…..

I know…..you can’t get tickets…..no one can.

SS Great Britain - a short walk away along the dock heading towards the city centre.

 

[AG 2602]

SS Great Britain worth a look as is Bristol Suspension Bridge. You could go to the Avon Gorge hotel for lunch they have a huge patio over looking the bridge it’s great if the weather is good. It’s also in a nice part of town Clifton Village and the Downs.
The area around King St has a nice vibe with bars restaurants and river walks/taxis.
Or you could go to Stokes Croft area if you fancy a graffiti tour!
Haven’t been for years but maybe the museum?

I would also recommend the Grain Barge for lunch/dinner you might want to book it’s likely to be busy!

Called The Cottage if my memory still works.

Sadly, the Llandoger Trow has closed. A truly historic pub gone forever.

Last orders for Bristol pub linked to Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island

Threat of closure hangs over Llandoger Trow after serving people of Bristol for 350 years

Is Bristol Zoo still there? - only been once many years ago and remember thinking how spacious it was for the animals - cos I was only used to dear ole Dudley Zoo which, er wasn't really when I was little.

 

[Janine]

St Mary Redcliffe church is worth a look.
The Ostrich pub has lovely outdoor seating next to the water.

Have they finished repairing Cumberland Road embankment yet……?

Have they finished repairing Cumberland Road embankment yet……?

They still had roadworks outside the site when I was there last weekend.

 

[robrace]

it looks as if it might be difficult finding the site with all the diversions caused by road works but we will get there!

Don't forget the length restrictions, and twin axles not currently allowed

Cottage Inn. Careful how you say that

Boat trip on the Tower Belle is good. Starts near the SS Great Britain.

Service at the Grain Barge was really poor this week. Not busy either. Totally disorganised.

Try to get a pitch at the back of the site as the noise from the roadworks at the front is horrendous. 7.00 am onwards

What direction do you intend coming in from?

Directions on this thread may help.

Baltic Wharf redevelopment latest news

Stayed 3 times in the last 15 months and loved it. Summer or winter so would recommend a stay. nice walk into the city along the harbour or a walk to Clifton village and then back into the city centre. Go for it while you can.

Follow the signs for the SS Great Britain if possible - they bring you to within 100 yards of the site.

If you like a decent cider..
Try The Orchard Inn they also do great cheese and onion baps

 

[Janine]

The Merchants Arms across the swing bridge is good too. Proper old fashioned pub with lovely pork pies.

Pop up to Clifton village, walk across the suspension bridge then back again to grab a coffee with the well heeled Bristolians

 

[TheMachMan]

Just back from a great and presumably last visit.
Does anyone know if they have made any progress finding a new site?

 

[Sapper520]

They’ve purchased a plot of land already. There is a thread on here somewhere with a map.

This is the latest from the caravan club website -


The Club has been operating Baltic Wharf campsite for several years on a renewable, short term lease while the Council planned for redevelopment of the site into up to 190 new homes.

In 2017, we purchased a new location, just one mile away near Ashton Court, and we recently received a positive response from the local planning office. There are still a number of hurdles for us to get through before planning consent is granted, but we are hopeful that this new location will be approved for development into a touring site soon. We will, of course, make sure we keep you up-to-date with the latest news about this potential new campsite.
