Exploring Bristol
The
Bristol Harbourside
, the city's rough-and-ready docks in the 19th century,
is now the heart of the modern city, converted into wonderful hotels, excellent res-
taurants, shops, and art centers.
The other area of interest lies 2 miles to the west in the leafy Georgian neighbor-
hood of
Clifton
, best known for the graceful
Clifton Suspension Bridge,
span-
ning the precipitous Avon Gorge. The architect, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, died 5
years before its completion in 1864.
At-Bristol

interactive science center is
targeted primarily at kids and families, with special exhibits on animation, flight,

“leaning lounge,” and “play TV,” where they get to direct or present their own shows.
