    The Painted City

    Did the painted city tour of Bristol with a group of 6 friends from my 70s music group. We loved it , a really informative trail with lots of quirky clues that highlighted parts of Bristol we wouldn't have otherwise seen. Great fun doing the reconstructions especially the well hung lover ! The Hatchet Pub and Ah Toots also provided excellent stops along the way, I'd recommend these tour sas an introduction to any city.
