Why go
The square is a useful place to read Bristol's urban history in the open air. Georgian buildings frame the grass, and the clear centre was restored after a road once cut through it. Its setting works well as a breather between the harbourfront and nearby historic streets.
What to look for
- Georgian facades line the edge of the square.
- Level lawns open out within the built-up centre.
- Broad gravel paths cross the green.
Useful to know
- Use it as a short pause between the harbour and the old centre.
- Take a circuit of the perimeter to see the varied Georgian fronts.
- Check for events if you need an uninterrupted route across the grass.
