Ten of the best towns in and around Bristol have been picked as part of an online guide to determine the top places to live in the UK.
Lifestyle website, Muddy Stilettos has compiled its annual list of the top places to call home in each region with some delightful spots on the outskirts of Bristol, in both Somerset and Gloucestershire, included. A winner has also been chosen from each each county area.
The suburbs, villages, towns and cities that made the cut within a short distance of Bristol were chosen for different reasons - either for their best restaurants and pubs, stunning green spaces, cool independent shops, brilliant farmers’ markets or must-see attractions. The online guide uses insider knowledge of places outside of London to help potential buyers and renters decide where they’d like to live.
Below are the top five places for both Somerset and Gloucestershire according to Muddy Stilettos along with the reasons given by the publication.
