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
