Clifton

BristolBS8

Clifton is Bristol's jewel—Georgian terraces climbing towards the Suspension Bridge, a village of independent boutiques and excellent restaurants, 400 acres of Downs for your morning run. It's where Bristol's establishment lives, where the independent schools are, where property prices climb highest. The bridge is an engineering marvel, the architecture is beautiful, and the views across the Gorge are spectacular. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's worth it.
