Welcome to Bristol

Bristol might conjure up rather twee images of harbours, hills and colourful houses, but it’s actually home to one of the largest populations in England. You might be wondering then, exactly why so many people choose to buy property in Bristol. Well, we think it’s because this is a location unlike anywhere else. Its blend of history, geography and culture mesh together to create an environment that’s a very special place to call home.

One of the first things people notice about Bristol is its characteristically hilly landscape and distinctive limestone areas, which make this a uniquely beautiful place to live. And despite its high population, Bristol is not a city that has turned its back on nature in the face of greater development. In fact, it was ranked the most sustainable city in the Sustainable Cities Index, meaning its natural assets can be enjoyed for many generations to come.

History is also a big part of Bristol’s proud sense of local identity. Once best known as Britain’s second most important port from the 15th century onwards and for exporting cotton, today Bristol’s modern economy couldn’t be more different to centuries past. However, the impact of its place in British history can still be felt in its many historical landmarks, which give its streets their unmistakable character.

But there’s more to Bristol than hills and old churches, with several fascinating museums to explore too. These include the much loved Oakham Treasures and science museum We The Curious, to name but a few. On top of that, there’s also The Wardrobe Theatre and Bristol Hippodrome, where you can see the best of both the local talent and the global cultural scene. This is all available alongside plenty of great bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants and parks. There’s more here to enjoy than you could explore in a lifetime.
