Bristol is the largest city in the South West of England, with a population of approximately 500,000 and what better way to get to know your way around; than by Bristol Taxis. The city lies between Somerset and Gloucestershire and has been politically administered by both counties in part at various times. However, Bristol is historically a county in its own right and is properly entitled the City and County of Bristol and is served by many Bristol Taxis.

A few miles from Bristol 's centre, two motorways intersect. The M4 from London to South Wales bridges the River Severn before it widens to become the Bristol Channel . The North-South M5 skirts the city at Avonmouth so if you need to go anywhere choose one of the many Bristol Taxis.

When Bristol was incorporated into the newly formed County of Avon there was a huge outcry and many citizens refused to use the new county name. The County of Bristol has since been reinstated, although a few "outsiders" still place our fair city in the County of Avon but many of them realise that Bristol is in the County of Bristol when they use Bristol Taxis.

There are many interesting places in Bristol to visit and what better way than in one of the Bristol Taxis.

One could start at the Bristol Heights allegedly the highest point in Bristol . In  Bristol Taxis you too could travel to the old City area and the highest point of Brandon Hill, 260 feet above the Harbour. However if you include Clifton then Observatory Hill, beside the Suspension Bridge, is 338 feet above the river's high water mark, again use one of the Bristol Taxis to get you there. The Suspension Bridge itself is 287 feet above low water. It has a span of 702 feet. Giant's Cave, just below the Bridge, is 250 feet above the valley floor pretty inaccessible unless you use one of the Bristol Taxis.

If you are interested in the history of the area what better to explore the available historic sites than by using one of the Bristol Taxis taxis available in the area. Efforts have been made over the centuries to trace Bristol 's history back to Roman times, but there is only evidence of settlement in the surrounding area. Bristol itself was a Saxon town and coins were minted here in the 10th century.

Did you know that there was an earthquake at the end of September 1118? Long before there were any Bristol Taxis or Cheaper Bristol Taxis. Earthquakes here are unusual but there have been several reports of such occurrences down the centuries, the last experience being in the 1980s.

A visit to 1140's St Augustine's Abbey is recommended which was founded twenty years before Robert of Gloucester rebuilt Bristol Castle as a formidable fortress dominating the town. The castle was used over the years for the confinement of numerous political prisoners, some of royal status whose imprisonment was often for life. How could you get there? You got it Bristol Taxis.

If you are interested in old churches then why not take one of the Cheap Bristol Taxis from the Bristol Taxis area and see where in 1204 King John visited the town. He was responsible for many of the churches in Bristol , sadly much of his legacy has gone now as they were enlarged and rebuilt over the years with bequests and donations from wealthy parishioners.

Bristol has a prosperous port this relates back to when the River Frome was diverted in the 13th Century – that gave extra quayside space, which in turn increased Bristol 's value as a port. Using one of the available Bristol Taxis vehicles is an ideal way of getting there and seeing the considerable trade that takes place with Ireland, France, Portugal and Spain, as well as the English and Welsh coastal towns.

The number of ships involved in overseas trade was and still is considerable. It was always a risky business with many vessels falling prey to pirates, foreign wars and the elements. The merchant businessmen were always looking for new opportunities. Some went themselves, others preferred to finance expeditions based on information received from their captains. Find out more by taking a Bristol Taxis taxi to the port. You could even find out more about John Cabot's 1497 voyage in the Mathew and his landfall on mainland America; it was apparently predated by Bristol fishing boats sailing to Newfoundland's Grand Banks.

In 1542 prosperous Bristol was granted city status by Henry VIII and the church of the dissolved St Augustine's Abbey became the Cathedral. Some well-placed Bristolians became wealthier at the Reformation when they took over lands belonging to the local monasteries. When Queen Elizabeth visited in 1574 there was a great show of pomp and speechmaking, gun salutes and torchlight processions. No doubt the citizens were keen to make a good impression for their privileges. I wonder what mode of transport her majesty used. What a pity Bristol Taxis were not about then…


In fact the city was now expanding outside its mediaeval walls. The narrow dirty streets of the Bristol Taxis area with its closely-packed houses with their primitive sanitary arrangements, cheek by jowl with local workshops, was not the most savoury of places to live. The more affluent moved into houses in places such as Queen Square, St Michael's Hill, Kingsdown, Ashley and, a little later, Clifton. The spread of suburbia had begun. Any number of Bristol Taxis could take you to any of these locations any time.
