These are Tamsin’s top-five Bristol favourites:
Snuff Mills
Snuff Mills is a wonderful wooded valley with easy riverside walks along the Frome – photo: Martin Booth
“Snuff Mills is the best place for dog walks. I have a Spanish water dog who loves the river here as well as climbing through the forest and chasing squirrels. Hours and hours of doggo fun.”
Eat a Pitta
Eat a Pitta’s newest Bristol cafe opened on Princess Victoria Street in November 2020 – photo: Martin Booth
“Perfect for a quick munch. Simple and delicious. Great value for money and feels super healthy. Eat a Pitta now also has five locations around Bristol: the original in St Nick’s Market as well as Broadmead, Gloucester Road, Clifton Triangle and Clifton Village.”
Weston-super-Mare
“Okay, Weston-super-Mare is not technically in Bristol – but it’s close enough. It is the best kitesurfing spot; not the most picturesque water but the wind is fantastically consistent when it’s blowing and the locals are super friendly.”
Bristol’s underground waterways
The original course of the River Frome still flows beneath city streets – photo: Kate Wyver
“A bit of a secret spot but well worthy a visit if you have ways to get on the water, exploring by kayak or canoe. Scary, a bit eerie and very damp but feels like you see a whole new side to Bristol.”
The Orchard
The Orchard Inn on Hanover Place in Spike Island is an award-winning freehouse – photo: Martin Booth
“The Orchard is Bristol’s best spot for a beer. Next to the marina and a popular boaty hang out, this cider pub has a great selection of ciders and ales. Small and intimate, they (used to) have a great blues night on Monday nights.”
