Clifton & Totterdown (colourful districts of Bristol)
Clifton and Totterdown are two iconic districts in the green city of Bristol.
Clifton is known for its Georgian buildings and engineering history, and is known of course for being the home of Clifton Suspension Bridge, one of the most famous bridges in England, designed by Brunel.
Totterdown is known for its steep heels (people have to park their cars perpendicular to the road to stop them sliding, and is known for its brightly-coloured houses, often looking like a rainbow painted on a hill. Many people here are highly artistic, and hold a local Totterdown Art Trail where they open their doors to showcase their work to the public.
In the 1970s, The Ghost Road was what was left behind, after many Victorian homes were demolished to make way for a major road that was never built, leaving behind a scarred but resilient community, known now for its green spaces.
