Bristol Connect - all about Bristol
Description
Bristol is a thriving modern city, with a long history that can be traced back over a thousand years. This history has been dominated by its location near to the sea - thus industries such as food and drink, tobacco, paper, print and packaging have shaped Bristol. Although Bristol is no longer a major port the docks still play a key part in Bristol's life. Bristol has a population of about 0.4 million.
Location within Britain is also a key to Bristol's sucess. The M4 and M5 motorways link Bristol to London, the Souoth-East and the Midlands and the North. In close proximity to Bristol are the Cotswolds, the Mendips, and the Forest of Dean across the new Severn Bridge, as is the city of Bath.
The arts flourish, with opera, film, ballet, museums, galleries and music of every kind. Bristol has two main football teams (City and Rovers), two main rugby teams (Bristol and Clifton) and contains Gloucestershire Country Cricket Club's ground. Bristol also has some stunning architecture.
