I booked the CHEAPEST city break in the UK! 🚌

Hi everyone! I’m back with another travel vlog for you today!
I thought it would be fun to find the cheapest overnight city break I could out of London for a night. After some researching the cheapest I could find including travel and accommodation was the wonderful city of Bristol!
This video contains a review of travelling by Megabus from London Victoria - Bristol & what it’s like to stay in the YHA Hostel.
I loved exploring this vibrant city & will definitely be back. Hope you enjoy!

You have to be one of Britain's best ambassadors!! This time, you presented how much you can see and learn on a limited budget. I love how you can just step into the shoes of an average Joe and be comfortable, no matter where you go! Kudos!

[@SHYsArt]

Check out Hannah Ricketts, she does London twice a week. Posh and budget.

[@dcarr7921]

Get this guy his own travel show 👏 🙌. Always amazing viewing!

[@mrsIan75]

That's a fantastic example of how you can have a lovely trip away with friends on a tight budget. Brilliant. Thank you.

[@janenewley1014]

Rather strange to see my home city through a visitor’s eyes! Glad you enjoyed your visit😀Jinxy

[@audrey23vs]

about megabus-you even can have it free if you have tescocard and convert your vouchers to tikckets.I`m in Scotland,near Glasgow and had few journeys in past going from Glasgow to London overnight and me and my daughter had return tickets for free

[@supershaz42]

Bristolian here ✌️ great video. You definitely visited the nicer bits of Bristol 😂 glad you had a good time

[@darrencritchley5425]

Love the video, what a bargain trip to visit a great city. 😉 keep up the hard work we all appreciate your videos. Everyone needs a friend like you 💙

[@absolutelyamanda2942]

So strange watching this after the awful news over the last few days. But we love you kid and again its another great vid xx

[@wendywilson858]

My son went to New York and stayed in a YMCA and he thought it was really good. He found being on his own he made friends easily. He also went to Croatia and did the same thing. He's in his 40s so not a teenager. Loved your vlog again. Xx

[@eh6454]

My daughter has done the same. She highly recommends staying in hostels 😊

[@sootyginger4388]

Loved this and what a bargain. Need more city breaks in this country. 😊

[@user-cf8sn3nv5b]

Yes as long as it’s dry folks, or I am living through Mr C

[@nataliethorpe394]

Great value trip, I like the idea of just jumping on a coach somewhere, to see something different. Lots to see there in Bristol it seems. Would be good to see some other affordable getaways. Thanks 👍

[@MrCarrington]

It was so fun! Go for it 😀

[@carolynstewart9103]

Have to agree with Helen..you are a great ambassador for Britain mr C ..thankyou for taking us on this lovely journey...hope you purchased a crystal..look forward to the next one.🥰

[@user-th3tl2qi3r]

Kirsten and joerg are tooooooo🙂

[@janettesinclair6279]

MShed - what a great museum, lots of fascinating exhibits. And what an interesting city, lots of quaint streets and lovely buildings.

[@MrCarrington]

M shed was superb 🙌

[@isobelmcfadyen4625]

Coaches are great. I did glasgow to Birmingham with flixbus for £24 return. Was staying with a friend so no other costs!

[@user-ik2km4wf5c]

Really enjoyed this felt I was walking there with you, what a lovely city. My husband and I used to love doing city breaks and had a weekend away every month when the kids had flown the nest, not so much now. Keep up the good work always enjoyable, thank you.

[@Kari_B61ex]

Bristol is good choice Mr C. Lots to see and do. I live in Exeter and have family who live in Bristol. I visit often and love it. They also do the same thing with me in Exeter. We haven't got a big suspension bridge over the Exe, but we do have a little walking bridge...locally we call it the wobbly bridge as legs really do feel wobbly. 😅

[@daleduerden1185]

Thankyou for a lovely look around Bristol ,so nice.

[@wendymitchell4004]

My grandad lived in Clifton when I was younger we spent a lot of time there , my neck of the woods❤

[@tinawhynot8893]

Fun idea and video Iwan, thanks for showing us around Bristol. It was nice to see the Matthew in the harbour, with the Canadian flag flying 🇨🇦

[@nicolajayne1594]

A very nice video. You'd make an excellent travel presenter. I feel like I'm watching a modern version of Wish You Were Here. Glad you packed earplugs and eye mask. I always take some with me when I travel. The return tickets are so cheap. I do like the YHA chain. They're lovely and cosy, excellent value for money too. I am amazed at how cheap your night away was.

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

This was great. I really enjoyed seeing that you can have a small getaway/ field trip inexpensively. I'd love to see a similar one of these in the Autumn.

[@cliffhorman6846]

This was excellent Mr. C! I cant believe the price! I think many will take advantage of it.

[@LINDAWATSONGARDEN]

Lovely to see you visiting Bristol, I live in Cheddar not far from there, near Cheddar Gorge. You may like to visit there one day. Do enjoy your videos. Look forward to them.

[@lisasafiullah8774]

Amazing price. I love Bristol, it's feels creative, open minded and vibrant. The street art is a good free option too😊 we went to Stokes Croft which is an interesting place with a bohemian vibe lots of interesting eateries, community bakery etc. Thanks really enjoyed this x

[@stampinwithcam]

I lived in Bristol in the 60's as a child before moving to Weston-super-Mare. After leaving school I worked in the centre of Bristol at what is now a Holiday Inn, but was then the TV Licence Records Office. Even in those days (1979) the docks were still fully working as docks. I used to pass the SS Great Britain twice a day on the bus. In those days it was just starting its restoration journey. Have been back fairly recently, and will be going again in September where I shall be able to see Concorde.

[@marion370]

Love these breaks,not done any lately as been ill but hopefully in next week or so I'll be fighting fit again,thank you Ewan, Bristol is fantastic ❤

[@dianeprice5798]

Evening Mr Carrington, really enjoyed your travel vlog around Bristol, wow that was a cheap and great price. Looks really lovely around, thanks for sharing,👍

[@tinymouse.travel]

😮😮 That's almost back to the days Greyhound Buses did a £1 ticket from Portsmouth to London but that was 15 years ago. You got a great deal on the Megabus.

[@lisasafiullah8774]

I remember National Express £1 trips. I did a few!😊

[@sandraholland5663]

Hi Mr Carrington. What a great video as always. It just goes to show that you can still have a cheap break away. Thank you for sharing. Love it ❤

[@jenslims]

How fun! I knew it was Bristol from the photo 😊. My dad’s family are from there and I just visited myself last month. Great place. Love the idea for the video. Keep them coming!

[@carrieabbott186]

I really enjoyed this vlog. You really gave a great overview of this trip. You gave all info if someone wanted to do this journey . Thank you❤

[@deanfields5242]

Your blogs are just amazing Mistercarrington you should definitely have your own tv show ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Bellabambina123]

Nice to see some of my old haunts! I grew up near Bristol and lived there for several years but moved away nearly a decade ago now.

[@sheilahenderson5973]

I have stayed in a YHA hostel at The Eden Project. In the family option you get a double bed and two bunks plus on suit shower room. One of the best places I've ever stayed. Thanks for this video; I love all your travel vlogs 👍

[@jeansmith3367]

That's amazing value - and Bristol looks so nice, I've only ever been through it on a coach but said I would definitely try and visit.

[@lully381]

Hi There Iwan! that was an interesting insight into hostels! and a great price, if you just want a cheap night away traveling across the UK it's brilliant and great experince, especially if you are young. Not sure my cup of tea at 65 but interesting to see what is avaialable out there, and would have been okay in my youth I daresay. You learn something new every day watching your Vlogs! thank you x

[@territaylor1133]

This was excellent 🎉🎉🎉Loved the museum, really well put together. Such a lot to see in Bristol ❤❤❤

[@BusyBeeMaree]

❤❤❤Been to Bristol many times on school trips as I grew up in Swindon. Stayed in a lovely youth hostel when I was 17 in Cornwall.❤❤❤

[@suzanneharper4877]

The SS Great Britain is really interesting to look around.. My nephew lives in Bristol.. It’s like a smaller London. Lots of live bands in the evening. We’ve been to the Theatre a few times too..I need to go visit Mshed next time I go.. Very informative video.. Hope you, your partner & friends had a great time.. thank you..😊❤

[@lovesmashbox]

Your trip look like so much fun .sometimes you don't have to travel far to have fun .I love these videos.

[@sharoncarter6081]

Love Wallace and Grommet

[@MrCarrington]

Me too😀

[@BLK2000]

ahhh memories of the MShed, SS Great Britain, lots of places around Bristol :) Kids used to go there every holidays, to visit nanny and grandad when little :) not changed at all xx

[@juliebrooke6099]

You were lucky with the weather. Haven’t stayed in a youth hostel since the 1980s (when I was a youth!). Bristol looks great.

[@gillwoolley6515]

Lovely to see you visiting my city. You showed it off well, in such a short time. Glad you enjoyed it xx

[@karonfrench1012]

Very informative Mr lovely teeth. I think someone will be wanting you to go on a travel show. So professional. That stint on the TV has been a huge asset 👍🥰

[@christinehodge3608]

Good and interesting video as usual, really appreciate you sharing this, would love to do this journey

[@vernafenlon1058]

Enjoyed your very detailed excursion. After listening to your review, I will definitely put this city on my list to visit in the future.

[@clairebarnard3235]

Lovely to see you in my home town. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope you come back soon 😊❤xxx

[@frankieb43]

Fantastic I love this. Some beautiful sights. Megabus sounds amazing value X

[@hilaryb1008]

I’m glad you enjoyed visiting my home town. Having been down there, I can confirm that the giant’s cave must have been used by the smallest giant ever lol

[@catherineclark2949]

Love your travel vlogs, great trip to Bristol. Definitely couldn't walk across the Suspension Bridge lol. Plenty to see and do well worth a visit xx

[@lornaburgess9762]

My 3xGreat Grandparents came from Bristol , I only found this out when researching my family tree. The family name was Warbutton.

[@jillep4668]

Can't believe how cheap this was.. Looks such a lovely place to visit. Really enjoyed watching this vlog 👌🙂

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

Looks like a lovely place to explore! Enjoyed the tour.

[@moirainstance2685]

I stayed in Bristol for 2 weeks last time I was back home it's lovely thank you for this x

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Thank you Mr.C. you always find the best travel bargains ❤

[@janeoxley4829]

Great video Mr Carrington. You would not catch me walking across that suspension bridge ahhhhh.

[@pb9401]

Fantastic! Absolutely loved this video! Very good information! Thank you!

[@marionford8298]

My daughter has just come home to Bham, after being in Bristol for 3 yrs at university. Lovely place. Love the bright coloured shops/houses. The graffiti art on buildings, and the quaint little shops.😊

[@cherylmartin9994]

Happy Wednesday Mr C! Wow!! I can't get over the price. You're so good at booking these getaways. Handy to have a partner and friends willing to take the leap with you 😃oh and I noticed the 🇨🇦 on the ship in the harbour 🥰

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Brilliant vlog. Bristol is a nice city. Thanks for tips etc!

[@hannahx2143]

Wow really enjoyed this vlog, I didn’t know such cheap travel existed! Bristol looked lovely but my stomach did turn when you walked that bridge! Very brave of you! 😬

[@christinabrooks5991]

Mr C, what a cheerful vlog and what a bargain. Nobody can complain that all of your holidays are expensive. Bristol, haven't been there since I visited the BBC for my interview, the start of a life time career......it's changed fabulous 😍

[@janetspiller5575]

Thank you for looking round Bristol I live in bristol, and many a time we been in the m shed with my family also on the ss great Britain I hope you have had a lovely time love your video s

[@Steffie8110]

[@redgamer2915]

How fabulous is this? You’ve given me the idea of looking for somewhere to go with my son during the summer holidays. Thank you so much❤️❤️ xx

[@MrCarrington]

Yay! Hope you have a great time 😀

[@bec.11]

Great vlog, thanks for the tips 😊🇦🇺👋

[@Soulfulshal1962]

My old workplace home - the harbourside in 1990 looked different to how it does now. Hope you had a lovely 24 hours in Brizzle Mr C 💐💖xx

[@flohough1870]

Looks like a fun little break. We used Megabus about 12 years ago to go to New York City (6 hours away) and it was great, the price was way cheaper than what it would have cost us to pay tolls and try and park. The only part we didn't like was where we had to catch the bus out of NYC, it was in the early days and they really hadn't come up with a great system just yet.

[@MrCarrington]

That sounds brilliant! I had some interesting experiences in the early days too 😅 I think they have improved a lot!

[@fireflies8841]

Nice blog, thanks👍 Bristol is a great place to visit. I took my students to the same hostel in 2018 and we had a good time. The suspension bridge is really majestic with stunning views.

[@juliemorrison7477]

What a great vlog n good idea visiting different parts of the country on a budget. Come to Newcastle/Gateshead sometime, (although it’s quite a way from London) we do have beautiful beaches and countryside in Northumberland

[@jillmoorhouse8888]

I really enjoyed this look around Bristol, it looks such a nice city. I know one of my sons used the Megabus once when doing a long journey, such good value.Thanks for taking us along with you x

[@madelineclarke7608]

Hi Iwan what a great cheap trip away that certainly can't b beaten on price ❤

[@denisemeredith2436]

The YHA also have hostels abroad and some years ago, I stayed in one in Italy for an entire week. It sounds like you had a good time Iwan.

[@philash824]

10:53 if you kept going up, on the downs above the suspension bridge is the camera obscura and a passageway that brings you onto a platform on the side of the Avon gorge. Never mind you found it 😂

[@nicolafreeman6294]

Wow! What a bargain 😮 Bristol looks great thank you 😁

[@kristineprice2722]

You really are brilliant taking us on these trips with such info too, Bristol was lovely, Horrible news after you left, good job you weren’t their 😮definitely going to take a trip not so sure staying in that hostel tho, bit too old for bunks 😂❤

[@dianejacobson5203]

Lovely to see you in my home town. It really makes me appreciate Bristol and want to explore it more. Thank you ❤

[@lindaroberts2508]

Great blog Mr C, ❤❤

[@shirleymclean5895]

Thought this was BRILLIANT! Perfect solution to a budget holiday without the budget! The bus is great value, the hostel fine ( if you had a family or friends with you! ) Lovely Bristol! Who knew! Nice work Mr.Carrington! 👍

[@d.d.mac.3773]

That was such a nice adventure! Thank you for taking us along.

[@margaretbarclay-laughton2086]

This made a lovely end to a trying day thank you.

[@bonniewright7169]

Really interesting vlog ! Bristol looks fab too . Looks like you had a good time and what fantastic value ! Often wondered who takes care of Pumpkin and Mittens when you are away on holiday or filming SYLO 🤔. X

[@ajohnson2381]

I hate the word hostel as it reminds me of the horror film of the same name, very scary. Interesting video, you make the best ones and are not afraid to work.

[@user-md8ny8dy2c]

What a bargain Ewan and the museum was amazing thanks so much for this wonderful video ❤

[@nicollef8080]

What an interesting vlog! Bristol looks amazing! We had an Anderson shelter in our back garden which my dad used as a shed!

[@kkatmom]

Such a lovely vlog Iwan. I’ve used Mega bus here in the states when traveling to visit my family. This was when my knee was so bad, prior to knee replacement. I just couldn’t do the drive. So it was convenient and inexpensive to visit my family. It’s about a six hour drive. Most times I paid under $4- usually $2. If I reserved a seat an extra $1. The buses weren’t always the most comfortable, however, I would say for the money I didn’t mind! I really enjoyed this format of doing inexpensive local trips. Well done! Enjoy your Wednesday Donna

[@user-th3tl2qi3r]

And again Nice music💯

[@marygird7715]

What an interesting town Mr C. great that one can still travel on a budget and with good Company it is still fun😊 Wallace and Grommit is such a favourite show

[@user-sd4kl9qc6o]

That looks like a lovely city to visit and it's great to know it can be done on a budget too x❤🇮🇪

[@nikkimckenna340]

What a bargain, what great idea for some who can’t afford a exspensive holiday or don’t own a tent or caravan xx

[@MrCarrington]

Yes it’s probably cheaper than buying a tent and camping! 😀

[@PlanetImo]

Ooh great. I love museums.
