On the trail of history on a scavenger hunt in Bristol

Bristol is a city with a long tradition. It already had one of the most important harbours in England in the 12th century. No wonder, as its location on the River Severn, which flows into the Celtic Sea just behind the city, is ideal. As a result, ships docked and disembarked here for centuries. You can still visit the huge facilities today. Harbourside is so diverse that you could probably easily spend a whole day there. The historic museum "M Shed", the scientific museum "We The Curious" and the museum ship "Great Britain" are particular attractions. The latter was launched in 1843 and has an eventful history from passenger ship to troop carrier to coal transporter. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions. If you want to learn more about the history of seafaring after your Bristol scavenger hunt, you are in the right place on board the Great Britain.

Even though the harbour has played a formative role for centuries, the city has more to offer than just ships and docks. As you wander through the city centre on your joint scavenger hunt in Bristol, you will spot at least three buildings from afar. Firstly, the two churches, Bristol Cathedral, built from light-coloured Bath Stone, and the late Gothic St Mary Redcliffe. The other is the Cabot Tower. It is located in Brandon Park not far from the city centre and offers a viewing platform at a height of 32 metres. From there, you have a wonderful panoramic view of your playing field for the scavenger hunt.
