“I cycle across this magnificent piece of engineering every day and always get a thrill from doing so. Spot two or more white vans below on the Portway and I know it’s going to be a good day. Superstitious… me?!”

The harbourside

“Yes, it’s another Bristol icon, but this has to be our perfect place to promenade after dinner. Twice a week for a full circuit is a must do for myself and partner Lloyd. Love the timeless smells in Underfall Yard.”

Bravas

“I’m trying to learn a bit of Spanish at the moment and Bravas on Cotham Hill is the perfect place to try decoding the menu and tasting delicious treats.”

A walk around Abbots Pool

Abbots Pool is best experienced when it’s just you and the fish jumping. Try it on a snowy day for a deep country feel yet just a 10 minute drive from the city.”

An afternoon in Clevedon

“There’s something delightfully unchanging about walking the seafront here. Donkey rides, crab hunting in the rocks and decidedly time-worn crazy golf. It’s like family holidays used to be!”
