Cathedral GreenThis is where the Inspiration for the hymn Rock of Ages came from. Just at the bottom of the Combe there is a small car park and on the opposite side is a plaque and the cleft in the rock.
If the Reverend Tiplady had walked a few yards further up the road on the opposite side, there is a large cave which would no doubt have kept him perfectly dry!

Bristol Harbourside
Once a busy dock where sailors and merchants would trade goods and set sail for voyages of discovery, Bristol's Harbourside is now an attractive, modern development filled with restaurants, bars, shops and hotels.
The area is alive with the buzz of Sunday markets, waterside restaurants and bars and a whole host of sports and activities including yachting, paddle boarding, cycling and rowing. Stroll around the water’s edge and you will find Millennium Square acting as a fantastic central hub, with its fountains and big screen as well as world-class attractions such as Brunel’s SS Great Britain, We The Curious, Bristol Aquarium, Arnolfini, Spike Island, Watershed and M Shed.
Or you could just let the world pass you by whilst watching the boats head in or the swans swim past whilst dangling your feet over the edge with a cold glass of cider in hand.
