Bristol is an amazingly diverse city, home to people
from all over the world. If you're looking to relocate,
then we're sure you won't be disappointed. Sometimes
called little London, the city has many music venues,
galleries and festivals that drive its creative reputation.
If you are looking for country living, we are only a few
miles away from many picturesque villages and small
towns in Gloucestershire and Somerset, which are all
within commuter distance. The beaches of Devon,
Dorset and Wales are within a two-hour drive from
Bristol; a city with great green credentials, with
excellent bus service and cycle lanes.
It is home to the famed graffiti artist Banksy (you can
find many of his pieces around town), the cartoon
Wallace and Gromit, some of Brunel's greatest feats of
engineering (the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the S.S.
Great Britain), an international hot air balloon festival, and
two universities (The University of Bristol and the University
of the West of England).
It is a very livable city and, in addition to having a fascinating
history of its own, it is close to some of the top attractions in
the U.K. such as Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury and more.
Weston-super-Mare, also known as just Weston, is a
seaside town in Somerset. It lies by the Bristol Channel 18
miles (29 km) south west of Bristol. Dominated by a long
stretches of sandy beach, Weston-super-Mare attracts
thousands of tourists and visitors in the warmer months.
The main Weston landmark is the Grand Pier. Rebuilt 11
years ago after a fire destroyed the original construction, the
pier offers arcade games, fairground rides and classic
seaside treats and it hosts different events throughout the
year.
There is a wide variety of cafes, pubs and restaurants so
you can always find something to satisfy your appetite. The
most popular foods are fish and chips.
Weston locals are known for their friendliness and
community spirit.
