Avon
About the Area
Enveloped in the hills of South West England, it has a distinctive identity. Grounded in roots from centuries past, passionate locals and spirited fans have helped carve out its character ever since. Writers, film directors, artists, actors, scientists, musicians and architects have sought inspiration here.
Famed for its passionate character and its maritime history, and for the acres of parkland and sustainable approach that earned it European Green Capital status, Bristol has created its own distinctive identity. Year-round festivals, award-winning cycle tracks, rejuvenated warehouses and behind secret doorways, stunning cityscapes and awe-inspiring street arts are a must to see.
Bristol is twinned with Beira in Mozambique, Bordeaux in France, Guangzhou in China, Hanover in Germany, Porto in Portugal, Puerto Morazán in Nicaragua and Tbilisi in Georgia.
