If you’re looking for something calm and peaceful to do whilst in Bristol then I recommend a visit to Bristol Botanical Gardens. Here are my photos from our recent trip and my review.

Our morning at Bristol Botanical Gardens
Find out more about the gardens on the University of Bristol Botanic Garden website.
It’s around a 40-minute walk from Bristol city centre, which we walked afterwards as it was such a nice day. Or if you’re staying more central and don’t fancy the walk, there are plenty of buses and taxis that can take you from the city centre to Clifton. We got a taxi on the second day for around £10.
So we didn’t go in the greenhouses, but that’s something for another trip to Bristol and a reason to go back!
I also didn’t take many photos, but there were so many beautiful flowers, especially a large selection of peonies. So taking more photos next time is something I must also do!
Fun fact: there are over 70 insects that ONLY live on a monkey puzzle tree. Always makes me wonder how they get to the tree if they don’t live anywhere else?! Where do they come from?
Bristol Botanic Garden Greenhouses
As you can see, I didn’t get a great deal of photos and it was a shame we missed the greenhouses which I think would be quite a highlight from checking out their Instagram tags! Here’s a sneak peek at some amazing Instagram photos from the greenhouses:
