Good guide

Very comprehensive guide to Bristol and surrounding areas. Some odd choices of restaurants and pubs, but very good on the history and places of interest.

Attractions, and how to find them.

Nicely laid out, and well referenced. We were able to find a suitable boat tour, the observatory, views of the Suspension Bridge, the Zoo, and places to eat for our short stay, and find our way around the city. It is not the guide's fault, but finding parking space was very stressful.
