When you think of Bristol, no doubt things like the Clifton Suspension Bridge, hot air balloons, a West Country accent and a nice cool pint of cider might pop into your head. And, while many will argue that there's much more to the city of Bristol than those things outsiders know us for, you can't deny that each one is pretty special and synonymous with our home city.
The neighbourhoods of Bristol probably don't get more iconic than Clifton, home to Clifton Down, the former home of one of the oldest zoos in the world and the aforementioned Suspension Bridge designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. And this is in addition to the modern day boutiques, bars, restaurants and the vast array of people in the 'village' that call Clifton their home.
But not far away there sits another village, equally as 'Bristolian' when it comes to its symbolism, despite technically sitting just over the border in North Somerset. It's full of history, architecture, farms and sports aplenty. It's birthed one of the nation's favourite drinks - and no we're not talking about cider - and is home to one of the world's biggest hot air balloon festivals.
