Where to Find the Colourful Houses in Bristol, Bristol, England

As a girl that comes from the South West of England and a stones throw from Bristol, I have a shocking confession to make. I have never visited the colourful houses of Bristol until last week! I've actually been to Bristol many times for shopping and nights out so when I saw this patchwork blanket of rainbow houses pop up on Pinterest, I couldn't believe what I had been missing out on.

In a big city full of traffic, tall buildings and industry, it's so refreshing to see these pops of colour. I know it may seem a bit odd to travel all the way to Bristol to visit a housing estate but in my opinion it is well worth it. I dare say, this might be Bristol's underrated must-see attraction!

This is the street I arrived on heading down from Clifton village which is near Isambard Kingdom Brunel's famous Clifton Suspension Bridge. If you haven't heard of 'Izzy K' (as me and my mates call him) he's pretty famous around these parts. Mostly due to the suspension bridge and his engineering in the railway lines which connected the South West. Anywho, enough of a history lesson.

Clifton Wood Crescent is quite easy to find if you plug it into your Satnav or Google Maps. It's a rainbow of bright colours from pinks, greens, purples and blues! ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
