Bristol

Bristol is the United Kingdoms ninth most populous city and England's sixth. Located in south west England and has a population of nearly 420,000 people. Bristol is a bustling centre for arts, culture and education. The citys economy thrives on the industries of trading, financial services, tourism and information technology. The aerospace industry also contributes to Bristol's economic success

The city of Bristol lays claims to having everything a person could possibly need. It is divided in several areas - strictly speaking, there isn't a city centre in Bristol. The sights of Bristol vary from contemporary to historic. It's quarters are each home to individually tempting atmospheres.

Against the backdrop of the harbour are bars, restaurants, cinemas and art galleries. Bristol also offers a celebrated cathedral, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Clifton Observatory, caves, and Bristol Zoo. The city is bursting with grand architecture and ornate buildings, containing diverse shops, cafes, theatres, museums and concerts.

Just beyond Bristol is a world of quiet country lanes, rolling countryside, meadows, valleys and woods. An amazing coastline scattered with charming seaside towns, and some of the most spectacular sites in England.

Climate Information

Bristol's climate is as unpredictable as the rest of the United Kingdom. Situated in the south west of the country and sheltered largely by Exmoor and the Mendip Hills, Bristol is in fact one of the UK's warmest cities. Summers are usually sunny and warm, while winters are cold and wet. Summer days, however, can start out overcast and damp, clearing later, and winter days can be crisp and cold.

Bristol Property Market

Bristolis the capital of the South West and over recent years has attracted a huge influx of business investment from the rest of the country. New property developments and conversions are shooting up all over the city centre. The Bristol Property market is a prosperous one, with the average cost of houses rising steadily over the past ten years. Harbour side living is popular amongst young professionals, while the slightly cheaper Old Town is a favourite for the student population with many ofBristol's rental propertieslocated in the area.
