Bristol

Bristol is an intriguing city with endlessly fascinating geography. From links to migration and its industrial heritage to the physical geography of the place (e.g. Clifton Gorge and the harbour), it presents an excellent case study for the 2016 GCSE Geography specifications.

Did you know…

The city made world news in 2020 after a statue of Edward Colston, a merchant with slave trade links, was dragged into the harbour following a Black Lives Matter protest.

Bristol, in common with many other metropolitan areas in the UK, is both a city and a county. The city grew up around the confluence of the rivers Avon and Frome around 1000, and developed into a large port between the 1500s and 1800s.

The climate in Bristol is warm, with mild winters (5°C) and warm summers (15°C) due to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. The rock type around Bristol is mostly limestone, and the landscape is hilly due to the erosive power of the rivers. The famous Avon Gorge feature was produced by the River Avon, and offered protection to the port of Bristol.
