Overview

  • Bristol‘s Old Market is at the centre of the city’s story, from its time as a medieval trade destination, to the vibrant cultural hub it is today.

    On this walking tour, you‘ll explore Bristol‘s oldest neighbourhood and find out what makes this area unique. You’ll pass coaching inns, hidden priest holes, independent breweries and music venues, each with their own fascinating layers of history and culture.

    The tour starts at Castle Bridge, where you‘ll hear about Bristol‘s Anglo-Saxon origins and how the city got its name. You‘ll walk through Castle Park, find remnants of Bristol Castle‘s curtain wall, and discover how this once-mighty fortress shaped the surrounding area. In the Old Market itself, you’ll see where trading has taken place for almost a thousand years.
