Spoilt for choice here. SS Great Britain (the experience recently renamed to avoid upsetting some group or other) the Clifton suspension bridge ( and camera obscura) and the whole waterfront.
Bristol was a major engineering town. Bristol cars were sleek and fast whilst Bristol buses were the mainstay of Eastern National. There were also Bristol aircraft - I seem to remember building an Airfix Bristol Beaufighter. Sadly all no more.
The wide guage Temple Meads Station remains as another reminder of Brunel.
Bristol once had a large orphanage. However by about 1900 there were fewer orphans so they took in children from large families who were unable to cope. So an aunt and two uncles spent some time there.
Bristol hotels are expensive. Stay at Portishead by the refurbished Dock and catch the bus in. It passes all the sights. |  | | |  |

I've been to both Ashton Gate and the Memorial, but I haven't really spent any time in Bristol, so have zero to add. It's somewhere I'd like to properly visit, but any games we're due to play there don't fall kindly in the calendar. |  | | |

I love Bristol, always have, and as you say, spoilt for choice for things to see and do. If you have time and like BBQ food, Spitfire Barbecue on Hannover Quay is definitely worth a visit. |  |
