Day/Evening activity
Great independent restaurants and shops. If you're looking to rest your legs after walking up Cheltenham & Gloucester Road then St Andrews Park is usually a good spot & you can usually watch a slack line of two. You are particularly spoilt on Cheltenham/Gloucester Road if you're looking for a pub crawl...

The Wardrobe Theatre, the Tobacco Factory, Bristol Old Vic and the Hippodrome have some fantastic plays. The Bristol improv Theatre can also be good fun (& is right next to the Clifton Lido which is a great swimming/cocktail location!)

A city farm where you can feed lovely goats and then enjoy the cafe (after some hand sanitiser!). It's not far from the Wiper and True brewery, the Mina road restaurants & a climbing wall. You could also use it as a jumping off point for exploring Easton.
