These are Chaouche’s top-five Bristol favourites:
Leigh Woods
“Leigh Woods is my favourite place to walk around in Bristol. It’s peaceful and full of beautiful old trees. Lots of birds are always singing and there’s even a bluebell forest. If you catch it at the right time of year you get to see all the bluebells blooming. It’s very magical.”
University of Bristol Botanic Garden
“A very beautiful place and I love looking at species of plants from around the world. The Botanic Garden gives me inspiration and reminds me how big the planet is. For me it’s worth paying a few quid for that experience.”
Cabot Tower
“Cabot Tower at the top of Brandon Hill is very close to my house. I love climbing up the spiral stairs with my boyfriend and having a look out at the top. You can see in every direction and engraved into metal plates are arrows pointing in different directions and distances you would find other major cities. When I’m up there, I like to imagine people in other cities doing the same thing pointing at Bristol.”
Westonbirt, The National Arboretum
“Westonbirt is another great place for me to collect my thoughts while admiring the beauty of Mother Nature. I haven’t been there in the summer yet, so I’m really excited about how things will have changed throughout spring.”
Bristol Sweet Mart
“Sweet Mart is one of my absolute favourite places to go to get some authentic Indian goodies. I pass there a fair amount, and every time I do I look forward to grabbing something from the hot deli. They have loads of lovely flat breads and spices as well.”
