The downs is situated at the top Whiteladies Rd. Venture to the far left for views of the Avon Gorge. From here you can walk along the edge of the gorge to Clifton and end up at The Observatory. Recommend a walk around Clifton Village for a bite to eat or a cup of tea

Take a walk from top to bottom (or the other way!) and check all the great shops and food places. Bristol Guild - a wonderful interiors store is located near the top. Also Cooshti - a legendary Bristol fashion clothes store for boys and girls. Many great second hand clothes store situated on Park St including BS8.

Bristol is proud of what it started - the removal of statues of historical individuals with a dark past. This is the site of the statue location of former slave trader Edward Colston that was poetically dumped in the harbour by the Black Lives Matter movement. Colston's slaves also suffered being dumped in the sea if they were sick or dying or dead during their travel to the New World. He met his end in the same way as his victims. A most poetic finish! The city's aim is to relocate the statue in the its current condition in Bristol museum where the public can find out the real history of Edward Colston. #blacklivesmatter
