Architecture
Bristol is filled with striking architecture from many different periods, including:
- The Cathedral with its Norman Chapter House
- The Gothic St Mary Redcliffe, which Queen Elizabeth I described as 'the fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England'.
- The longest Georgian crescent in Britain
- A wealth of Victorian domestic and commercial buildings
- Some of the finest Elizabethan and rococo interiors at the Red Lodge and Royal Fort House
- The Brunel-designed Clifton Suspension Bridge and the nearby Clifton Observatory with its 19th-century camera obscura
- The innovative new structures that have been rising from formerly derelict ground by the dockside
