The Bristol Bridges Walk is a circular hiking route that is linked to the Königsberg bridge problem, a mathematical puzzle, which laid the foundation for graph theory, the mathematical study of networks. The Bristol Bridges Walk presents a solution of the puzzle for the city of Bristol. Its route leads the walker through different quarters of the city, the Avon Gorge and Leigh Woods. Along the way it crosses 45 bridges including Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Bridge, and Avonmouth Bridge. The walk featured in various charity fundraisers of which the Bristol Giving Day 2019 is perhaps the most notable.

St Mary le Port is a ruined parish church in the centre of Bristol, England, situated in Castle Park on what remains of Mary le Port Street.

Mary le Port Street (also known as St Mary le Port Street, Maryleport Street or Maryport Street) was an important thoroughfare from an early stage in the development of the settlement of Bristol, England, linking the area around St Peters Church and, later, Bristol Castle with the Saxon core of the town to the west at High Street, Wine Street, Corn Street and Broad Street. It was heavily damaged by aerial bombing in 1940, and was relegated to an unnamed service road and footway in post-war reconstruction of the area. Recent versions of the Bristol Local Plan have sought to re-instate this street and some of the surrounding historic street layout, to improve the link between the shopping area of Broadmead and the St Nicholas Market area.

The Northern Storm Water Interceptor (NSWI), is a large stormwater tunnel that acts as a flood prevention measure for Bristol, England. Building of the storm drain started in 1951 to relieve flooding over many parts of Bristol, and was completed in 1962. It is some 4–5 metres (13–16 ft) in diameter and runs from the River Frome at Eastville to the Black Rocks Quarry in the Avon Gorge - some 3 miles. There are however over 7 miles of tunnels in total. Originally proposed by the County Surveyors Frederick Ashmead and Col T H Yabbicom in the 1890s, due to the Great War, the Depression and the Second World War, construction was postponed until 1951. The scheme was reborn after the floods in Bristol 1947. The Tunnel was designed by Bristol City Engineers including Peter Steele and Bernard Smission from 1947. The tunnel was blasted through limestone, Dolimitic conglomerate and Keuper marl and lined with a 375 mm (14.8 in) thick concrete lining. At its deepest the tunnel is 90 metres (300 ft) deep. It was constructed by A.E.Farr Limited. Smission invented the Energy Dissipating Vortex Drop Pipe System of which two were constructed along the tunnel. The technology has since been used in Chicago, New York and closer to home in Plymouth. There is a plaque commemorating the building of the tunnel just across the Portway road from the outfall. This says: This is the outfall of the Northern Stormwater Interceptor constructed to relieve flooding in the central North and East of Bristol. Started in 1951 the project consists of 7 1/2 miles of tunnel. The main tunnel is 16 feet in diameter and over 3 miles long, begins at the flood water intake on the River Frome at Eastville and discharges into the River Avon at this point. The works were inaugurated by Dr. the Rt. Hon. Charles Hill, M.P. Minister of Housing and Local Government on the 4th April 1962 The future management of flooding risk in the Eastville area is under consideration.

One Redcliff Street, Bristol, England, formerly known as the Robinson Building, was built in 1964 as the headquarters of paper and packaging manufacturer E. S. & A. Robinson. Robinsons had occupied the site since 1846. At the time of construction it was the first high rise building in Bristol to "break an unofficial height limit" of 30.5 metres (100 ft). The Robinson building caused "controversy, both locally and nationally, and was seen by many as failing to respond to its environment, in particular its physical relationship to the adjacent Church of St Thomas". However, prominent architect Basil Spence described it as "a gift to the City". It was considered for the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest in 2007, but the application was refused. Law firm TLT LLP occupies the 7th, 8th and 10th-13th floors of the building and Patent & Trade Mark Specialists Withers & Rogers LLP occupies the 9th and part of the 5th with the rest of the floor being vacant. The names of the building and the street are often misspelt "Redcliffe", from confusion with the nearby Redcliffe district. In 2016 an extra floor was added raising the roof height from 60 to 64 metres.

High Street, together with Wine Street, Broad Street and Corn Street, is one of the four cross streets which met at the carfax, later the site of the Bristol High Cross, the heart of Bristol, England when it was a walled medieval town. From this crossroads High Street runs downhill south-east to Bristol Bridge, a distance of approximately 155m.Once an important shopping street, wartime destruction and post-war planning have left High Street shabby and a constraint on pedestrian movement between the Old City and Castle Park. Bristol City Council are now seeking to redevelop the area to repair this.

Wine Street, together with High Street, Broad Street and Corn Street, is one of the four cross streets which met at the Bristol High Cross, the heart of Bristol, England when it was a walled mediaeval town. From this crossroads Wine Street runs along a level ridge approximately 175m north-eastwards to the top of Union Street.Wine Street was for centuries an important shopping street but, following wartime destruction and the decision to move Bristol's main shopping area to Broadmead, it now contains little notable architecture and acts as barrier between the Old City and Castle Park. Bristol City Council are now seeking to repair this by redeveloping the area.

St Thomas the Martyr is a former Church of England parish church on St Thomas Street in the Redcliffe district of the English port city of Bristol. It has a 14th-century tower, but the nave was rebuilt 1791–93 by James Allen. A substantial reordering was carried out by William Venn Gough between 1878 and 1880, and the top of the tower was remodeled with spirelet, pinnacles, and pierced parapet by Gough in 1896–97. Four paintings for the reredos were commissioned from the German artist Fritz von Kamptz in 1906, and are now housed in the south aisle.Although the church survived the Bristol Blitz of the Second World War, the congregation declined after the war and the church was finally declared redundant. It is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, having been vested in the Trust on 17 February 1988. The organ was built by John Harris in 1729, and attracted the admiration of Handel.It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

The Dutch House was a large timber-framed building situated at Nos 1 and 2, High Street Bristol, England. It was a well-known local landmark until its destruction in 1940.
