Bristol Film Locations
In celebration of Bristol being a UNESCO City of Film, we look at ‘Bristol: the movie star’ in this tour. Many film productions have beamed Bristol onto the big screen and as well as being a featured location, the city has often played film double and production base for many movies. This tour rounds up Bristol locations used in major titles (the city has also been used as a location for tons of famous TV productions too, but that’s another tour…).

Who doesn't love a waterside stroll? Especially when the sun is on your back and the air is fresh. Bristol really is an amazing city to walk around as the sun begins to peek out from behind his winter clouds. Soak it up in one the most popular areas to explore – the Harbourside. This bustling and vibrant part of the city is a true outdoor-lovers dream.
