As a Bristolian I'm always rather bemused by the local media focus on a very small part of the city. Yes, Bristol Harbourside and Clifton Village are very nice and Stokes Croft has some very interesting street art but some of my favourite places in Bristol are actually on the outskirts. Blaise Castle Estate and Blaise Hamlet in Henbury, for instance, where I spent many happy hours as a teenager. Then there's Snuff Mills in Stapleton and the Frome Valley Walkway which can take you from Eastville Park to Vassells Park in Oldbury Court, and on to Frenchay Village Green if you've the inclination to walk further. One of the best restaurants in Bristol is the recently opened Zankys Italian Restaurant in Horfield which is about 4 miles from the City Centre. And as for pubs, well, it's hard to do better than The Lamplighters in Shirehampton, with its excellent food and service, and which backs on to the River Avon not all that far from where it reaches the Bristol Channel.

No one wants to go to Stapleton

[@gdsongwriter]

No one wants to go to the Crow Lane shops in Henbury unless they have to, but lots of people find Blaise Castle Estate and Blaise Hamlet just a quarter of a mile away absolutely delightful.

this really isn’t what Bristol is like, it’s a shit hole.

[@emardis8982]

As a Bristolian who loves Amsterdam, thank you very much!

[@gaglet]

@@emardis8982 i too live in Bristol, and it’s not as it’s represented in the video

[@archvaldor]

@@gaglet This is for students, and the areas represented are basically the places they are likely to go. You won't see many of them in withywood or whatever. There is a lot else to the city besides this obviously.

[@gaglet]

@@archvaldorI know how it works in the city, I live here. There are many false videos about how lovely the city is around, I wouldn’t want anyone coming to visit thinking it’s nice when it is a horrible place full of horrible people, including the Oxford rejects in North west areas.

Isn't Bristol apparently the safest city in England??

[@peterchan8897]

Try to avoid moving to a place nearby a nuclear power plant such as Bristol , Hinkley Point nuclear power plant is within 30 miles . From 2001 . this nuclear plant occurred 4 fire and leaks 12 times ! I discover many youtubers intentionally introduce Bristol as a most decent place to live . I guess they or their relatives or friends urgently want to escape from Bristol to avoid the nuclear disaster , so they try many cunning ways to attract people to buy their houses/flats . So they try speaking untrue information in their channels about the goodness of Bristol but hide the weakness of Bristol like the crime rate of Bristol is quite high and Bristol is within 30 miles of Hinkley Point nuclear power plant . They do this in order to mislead Hong Kong people and people of other areas to move to Bristol . About 1 year and 4 months ago , there was a riot in the Bristol city center . Thousands of people taking part and some police cars were burnt . also some policemen were hurt . 15 rioters were sentence for many years . So far a number of people were still on trial . As a conclusion , Bristol is not a safe city . Crime rate is high when compared with many other cities like Reading , Brighton , Canterbury , etc.,
