Clifton
Clifton is Bristol's elegant side: Georgian and Victorian terraces on the hill above the city, with Clifton Village at its centre and the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Brunel's, spanning the gorge at the edge of it. The independents here lean smarter than Stokes Croft, the boutiques, delis, jewellers, galleries and cafés that suit a leafy, well-heeled neighbourhood, many of them clustered around Clifton Arcade and the village streets. It is calmer and prettier than the centre, the kind of place you wander rather than rush through. The chains exist but the village keeps its own character, and the locally owned shops are the reason to come up the hill. Highstreett helps you find them among the Georgian frontages.
