 Bristol's most popular swimming pool |
Gloucester Road Bishopston Bristol BS7 8BN United Kingdom +44 117 924 3548 |
Formerly a cinema, hence the large spectator balcony, this listed building is very popular with Bristolians. With a pool length of 22 metres (nine metres in width) and a spectator capacity of 400, Bristol North regularly hosts competition swimming for clubs in the Bristol area. However, when the Mark Spitzes of the future aren't ploughing the lanes, it's available for everyone to enjoy. A variety of sessions are available, including: women-only, sessions for the elderly, lunchtime lane swimming, swimming lessons (adult and children), aquababies, early morning swimming and aquarobics. These are held at various different times throughout the week, in between general swimming sessions - the timetable is rather complicated, so ring for details. There are facilities for the disabled, including an easy-access ramp. Admission: adults £2.20, children 95p Review © 2007, Wcities |

 A country oasis in the city |
Watercress Road Bristol BS2 9YJ United Kingdom +44 (0)117 942 8241 http://www.stwerburghs.org/ind... |
Although only fifteen minutes away from the city centre, you feel in the heart of the countryside here at this farm. Kids love it—the sheep, goats, cattle, ducks, rabbits and especially the pigs, are all very popular and you can wander through the livestock section, getting very close to the animals, all of whom work for their places by providing wool, milk, eggs and meat, much of which is for sale in the farm shop. There are also footpaths and nature trails, plus a children's play area and a small cafe, serving snacks and lunches. Watch local press for details of their annual Summer Fair—a great family event. Admission is free, although they welcome donations. Review © 2007, Wcities |
