    This famous church is situated close to the water so you can easily walk along the river, towards the city, to take a peep at it. It was “saved” from destruction by the mass bombings of WW2 by fire.....  more »

    The St Mary Redcliffe Church is worth locating while wandering near the harbourside / docks its a stunning building but the cathedral is better.  more »
