If you in to church's this is a lovely one. It's easy to overlook the beauty of it as it's on the doorstep, but it's nice to stop now and again to appreciate it. More

Every so often when I get a chance I will pop into this amazing building. If you think it is only impressive outside then take the time to go in and see the amazing features. The size and scale of the church is great. You can hear the bells ringing in the evenings too for over half an hour. I'm... More

Historical and beautiful parish church, described by 'Good Queen Bess' as the 'fairest, Godliest and mostfamous parish church in all England'. 1,200 roof bosses, all different and covered in gold plus lots more. Look for church cat's grave and the tram rail that is a relic of WW2 More

A very beautiful church, worth visiting. Many people may only enjoy the outside beauty of this majestic church but the inside is quite nice as well. So if you have sometime, why not check this place out? More

Lovely place for a leisurely stroll. Not an artwork that is particularly impressive but the helpers at the church were simply amazing - they were so kind and helpful and made my day! More

There is no other church in England which can be compared to St Mary Redcliffe. It is simply incomparable. It is 800 years old and is still impressive and beautiful. At the time it was built it must have been truly awe inspiring. The immediate vicinity of the church is an area of Bristol which is a little shabby and... More

Dont miss two things outside on the grass at the rear of the church. In the grass bank is the grave... More
