2: Bristol Urban Excursionist - Along the Floating Harbour to Temple Meads and Old Market. Feb 2018

Описание: This, second of my Bristol wanderings, starts of in Castle Park in the centre of Bristol, UK. We explore, and nearly get lost in, the glass and polished granite maze of Finzel's Reach before coming out besides the Floating Harbour. We take in some glistening views of the water as boaters race past on their Sunday morning session. Coming to Temple Quarter we are met by an open expanse of space surrounded by shiny, glass and metal office blocks. Across the water again we head across to the classic red-brick Victorian factory building of Gardiner Haskins. Rising away from the flood-plain are the back streets of Old Market in a process of transformation. We see the wall without a house and appreciate some of the lovingly restored 19th and early 20th century industrial units - now occupied by people. A jump back in time through winding alleyways brings us to the Seven Ways and onto our journey home. A surprisingly colourful expedition accompanied by clear blue skies, crisp Winter sun and warm red-brick - and all to a shimmering, ethereal original soundtrack by The Fascinator. Pull up a chair, half-close your eyes, and dream...
