I'm a Meader in the last bit of my life. Living as I do next to the hospital Bristol is beautiful . Bless you all and have a wonderful life.
Bristol is home ❤ I will never forget the harbourside and Saturday nights clubbing in Park Street. I travelled the world, but I only decided to stop and stay in Bristol. Bristol owns me.
Che spettacolo! That's beautiful :) Thanks for sharing Federico :)
@@theintrepidguide *cries in Bristolian*
Students ruin bristol🖕
Which country are you from if you don't mind?
Your mentally ill get help!!!
Bristol, one of the biggest loves of my life.
I can see why :) I loved it too!
I lived in Bristol 1967 to 71 , I was 18, I loved Bristol made lots of friends and lovers,
had some fantastic times and experiences . Yeh life was good then in the late 60s -70s
Yep the biggest love of my life.💔
I live here and I still found this very interesting!
Aww thanks David 😀
What a dump
@@prestcoldandy910 dude we know
but at least we got relatively clean air
I’ve been in the geological department of Bristol museum they have a full kronosaurus skeleton, scelidosaur skin and last meal and it’s own dinosaur also I didn’t know about the city currency I’ll go check that out
Bristol is buzzing with vibrancy
Thanks for the heart
Good health and happiness to my fellow Brizzlers!
Alright me luver. Cheers drive!
Brazzers
never have i ever heard my fellow Bristolian call another Bristolian "brazzer"
@@ultimate_pleb same never heard someone with a Bristolian accent or any British accent short of granny’s friends despite living here since before I was born
@@DreadEnder same
I worked in Bristol between Oct 1999 to Oct 2003, a beautiful city....
That’s great! Must’ve been a wonderful experience 😀
Love bristol, was born here amd will die here
It was still good then, it's changed a lot since then. Went downhill after 2009.
It's weird seeing places I see regularly in real life on screen
Haha yeah. It’s like it’s from a movie 🍿
@@theintrepidguide Bristol's never been featured in any film I've ever seen, it's always only London. They should make more films take place in Bristol.
Jaffa Shibe I don’t think they should. No one is really interested in Bristol
@@jaffa3717 These were all filmed in bristol: filmbristol.co.uk/filmed-in-bristol/
Yes its really weird😂
Wow, lived in Bristol for 26 years and some of this information was new to me! What a great insight - can’t wait to be able to explore again x
Thank you so much Cristy
Wow, I am more impressed by your style of presenting Bristol than Bristol, and it is an amazing place. You did a great job mentioning the background of places and their history, I like that, it's not just a pretty place, it actually has history behind it. You've earned a new subscriber :)
That is incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you so much Ahmed :)
It was an amazing place years ago but then the immigrants started coming here and then years later the liberal left wing weirdos started moving in and now it's a s**t hole. Immigrants and liberals are still increasing and things are getting worse. Most true bristolians don't want these people here and it is so sad to see what Bristol has become. As you mentioned though we do have lots of history which is really great but some of it is under attack by mainly the type of scum I mentioned. The young lady who did this video did a very good job and it would be very helpful for tourists so well done to her!
Very well done. Clear, informative,no cutesy talk. I learned a lot . Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words 😀
I was born in Bristol and Lived in Clifton when England last won the world cup. I was in Bristol from the 28th Aug 22 and only came back from Bristol in the last 4hrs. I Love Bristol and I can say its one of the best cities in the UK. I currently live in Basingstoke
I think it was better in the 2000's, too many over priced shops from London now.
Takes me back to my childhood where visits to Bristol, Clifton, the Gorge, the indoor arcades, Christmas Steps and of course the late-departed Zoo were highly anticipated treats. Very much hope to get back one day, it looks as vibrant as ever. Very good guide, I'll certainly be looking out for your other presentations. Great work!
Thank you so much 😊
I’m a Korean student and I’m going to Bristol as an exchange student this fall semester! I’m really looking forward to it😆 Thanks for an excellent video :)
That’s so exciting! Thank you so much. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. Wishing you a wonderful time in Bristol 😁
You will have a great time 👍🏼
omg I’m going to study at Bristol this year as well I’m so excited
Its an amazing city. I am 26 and was born here and live here, best city in UK by far and many people agree
I’m a teenager from Hong Kong and I spent about a month in Bristol last summer. I lived with a local family and explored this beautiful city, and i definitely loved it!!! hope you’ll have a great time:))
I love Bristol! ❤️
You should have included the St Mary Redcliff Church that building is excellent
My Old School.. St Mary Redcliff..😁
Thanks very much for your tour of Bristol. I've lived here all my life and never knew some of the things you said! Much love. Respect x
Ok, now take a tour thru easton, St. Paul’s, St. George, fishponds and Lawrence hill
They won’t make it
Dan Tayler that’s where I’m from lol
St Paul's is actually not too bad now. I've been very unfortunate to visit hartcliffe, Whitchurch, stockwood, hengrove etc. No go areas
Stephen easton, St. Paul’s and lawrence hill arent that bad. But st George is dreadful
Visit south mead 😂
This is a really superb overview of the best of Bristol with an excellent presenter.
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for all this information, it helps me more in my research and what I really want to see in just a few days in this amazing city.
I love Bristol (and also drum and bass
So glad you enjoyed it :)
Such a wonderful video. Thanks.
I'm from Enfield although I live in Norfolk now and honestly I came too this vid out of curiosity as Bristol is 1 of those places I would hear about but never knew what it looked like. Now that I've seen it, it's definitely not what I expected it's beautiful
Thank you for bringing me back to Bristol through your video ❤
My pleasure 😀 so happy you enjoyed it 😀
So far the most useful guide to visit Bristol
Visiting there in three weeks. Your format is excellent. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! My pleasure 🙏So glad you enjoyed it.
Omg my mum and dad had their wedding party on that boat!!
What fantastic recommendations! I am Bristol born and bred and really enjoyed watching.
Watching this on my way to Bristol… you are saving my day! Thanks 😊
Amazing! Have a wonderful visit :)
She did a really good job. Very informative & concise. I've saved for another viewing.

Bristol City , I was living in it for almost 4 years , and i like it and very nice , thank you for your video ... Taha

Very polished and professional.
streetlegalone Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate the feedback 😉
Love this! This vlog is exactly what made me book my trip to Bristol and start up vlogging again! I just ADORE the detail you went into and it made Bristol look like a gorgeous place to visit! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Wow! What a compliment! Thank you so much :) I really appreciate your kind words of support :)
@@theintrepidguide well it’s true!!! I thought Bristol looked gorgeous in this video! Thanks for the inspiration. My vlog isn’t quite as well put together as this and the weather was terrible but we still had a great time! Thanks again!
@@BellaDiary Thank you :) I struggled with the weather too and had to extend my stay because of it so I totally understand. I hope you had a lovely time :)
@@theintrepidguide awww we did thank you so much! Yes! I shared, liked your video and subscribed! Keep doing what you’re doing :)
@@BellaDiary That's very kind of you, Sam. Really appreciate your support :) Thank you
Very interesting and very useful for tourists.
The best way to get to Ashton Court is to walk over the Suspension Bridge and just walk straight for half a mile. Miss that place
Which one of these places do you want to visit the most? Got a question about Bristol? Ask me in the comments below :) P.S. Sorry for a verbal typo. The Georgian house was built in 1790, not 1970 😂
My new first choice "What shall we do" video to send visiting friends. Love the inclusion of brief (mainly) accurate history details, especially from a non native. (Don't remember the Georgian House being built in the 1970's though.) - Great Work, thank you.
@@mikeprior1623 Thanks Mike! That was an unfortunate verbal typo. I got my numbers mixed up. It was built in 1790, not 1970.
Definitely the best video for Bristol. Planning a trip once the plague is over and want to do Bristol and Cardiff. I hope you have a Cardiff video as well!
Love this video, too 🙂
Check out my new city walk channel, please 🙏

This was very interesting thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it😀 Thank you for your kind words 💚
amazing video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you 🙏
The city is so beautiful 😍😍
That depends on which part of Bristol you visit.
We''ll allow the 'royal park crescent' slip up ......as your presentation was generally excellent; although living in Bristol for 4 years, this was insightful. However there is so much more to see
and fall in love with here (off the beaten track ! )
I'm from London buto Bristol often. I love whenever I go to Bristol, it's actually my best place out of London. Love stokes croft.
Excellent video 👌
Love this video, too 🙂
Check out my new city walk channel, please 🙏
Thank you
Amazing job! Great vid
Thank you so much 😊
I love you Bristol
This lady is one of the most delightful presenters on the internet, but Michelle, I wish you would do more videos on subjects that are not language based. (Like this one for instance.) This is not a criticism, it's just that you're so good at what you do it's a shame that most of your content is about one subject. I've watched your Love Actually video so many times I couldn't count.
"More like that one please." 😇
Never been to Bristol to I’ve always viewed it as a cool place for young people 👍
My city💙
Great video!
Thank you so much Gergely 😍
Awesome , go on .
Thank you 😊
I was actually planned to go to Bristol for study abroad! Sadly, Covid hit in early 2020 and all programs got cancelled.
I still plan to go to Bristol one day! Maybe not as a student, but as a traveler.
Okay, now I'm in love
For any new visitors / residents - local things to see: Cheddar Gorge, Chew Valley Lake, Brean Sands, Clevedon pier, Bath - gorgeous, Combe Grove spa near Bath, explore Devon and Cornwall for sure (Woolacombe, Sennen Cove, Kynance, Porthcurno and Portchapel beaches - so much to see).... And in Bristol itself - The Downs is a lovely park. Enjoy!
Thank you very much girl
I live in Bristol and this was a great video.
Thank you so much :)
Aerospace Bristol deserves a video of it's own.
Agreed
Awesome 👍
Hey nice job!
Splendid Background Music 🎶
Thank you ☺️
Coming to Bristol for studying.
Me too
The nails are how the expression " cash on the nail" came about,😁 good video BTW lived here and visited many times , but still found a few new locations in your video😁
All these places look amazing! I need to get to Bristol ASAP!
It really is a fantastic city. So much to see, do, eat and learn 🤓🤩
Britain on a Budget I live here it is not all that great
Go to Bath instead. Bristol is a bit shit.
What do you mean? I am born in Bristol and have live here the past 26 years, definitely better than most UK cities!
excellent
Thank you :)
Great vid! I'm arriving in Bristol for the first time ever going overseas by myself (for ArcTanGent festival and some time in the area). Thanks 👍

Hey . I’m in Sri Lanka Atm and have been living in Uk in Crawley with my mum. But because of family reasons I want to back to Uk but live on my own.
Is Bristol is good place to live for a 22 year old. Or you recommend any other places? Manchester or Birmingham 🤷🏽♂️
MR 360 3STYL hi 👋. Bristol is amazing for a 22 year old. We have two major universities so absolutely loads of young people and loads to do from pubs, clubs, outdoor activities, arts, places to eat I grow up here and I still have loads to do. Bristol is a bit like a mini London but way way better 👍
@@MRSTYL-cc6sl Yes, Bristol is definitely a wonderful city. Before I visited, many people I know said they would live their which is the main reason why I visited :)
The Intrepid Guide ohhhh ok I see. I’m a bit nervous 😅 coz I won’t know anyone . But hey that’s what being an adult is 🤷🏽♂️. You know any towns or locations best to stay.
Oh and I don’t know whether to stay in Sri Lanka until end of August or should I come beginning of August coz of corona?
I could come in August and waste it not finding a job
Next week I've got a job interview with a company based in Bristol. Fingers crossed I get it so I can move in.
Best of luck! :)
how did it go?
Once in Bristol hard to leave
Wish to live here soon
Well produced guide madam.
Thank you so much George :D
Love this video, too 🙂
