When in Brizzle visiting my sister we often have SUnday lunch at The White Lion Bar – good food including Sunday roasts, cold beer, tea and coffee and fantastic views of Avon Gorge and Brunel’s engineering triumph that is Clifton suspension bridge. Not for those with vertigo! Address: Sion Hill, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 4LD

Then, not exactly a secret, but good place to head for shoppping is Cabot Circus/The Mall/ Park Street  – high street chains and one off little gems.
