Leonardo Hotel Bristol City Location

3 Temple Way, Bristol BS2 0GS England

Leonardo Hotel Bristol City Transport & Airports

The hotel is on Temple Way, a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads station. Bristol Airport, the closest airport, is about 13 km (8 miles) away.

Day Trips to Cardiff and South Wales

Cardiff and South Wales are within easy reach of Bristol across the Severn, so they make good day trips from the city.

If you’re looking for things to do beyond Bristol, here are some suggestions:

1. Dinas Powys Castle

A series of inhabitants and attackers throughout the years have taken advantage of this naturally defendable position. The village has two old sites: the overgrown ruin of a medieval castle, once the seat of the Norman de Sumeri family, and, on the neighbouring hill at Cwm George, Dinas Powys hillfort, an Iron Age fort that was reoccupied in the 5th–7th centuries.

Dinas Powys is a village in the eastern Vale of Glamorgan, a few miles south-west of Cardiff.

To locate Dinas Powys Castle follow the A4055 Cardiff to Barry route towards Dinas Powys. After arriving in town, follow signs for The Lettons Way. A dirt road leads up to a castle that is obscured by vegetation and may be discovered by looking to your right.

In modern times, the castle has been nearly entirely obscured by thick vegetation; nonetheless, this just adds to the adventure of finding a long-lost structure.

Stone walls may be traced with caution through dense foliage and woods, and the area it encompasses is still rather sizable. If you don’t like the thorns and tangled roots, it’s a fascinating old location.

2. National Museum Cardiff

The National Museum Cardiff is a museum and gallery located in the Welsh capital of Cardiff. This museum is affiliated with the Amgueddfa Cymru organisation.

Cardiff’s National Museum opened to the public in 1927 to showcase the archaeology, geology, and natural history of Wales from prehistoric to modern times.

The museum also houses a large and highly prized collection of artworks, providing a historical survey of the most significant works of painting, drawing, sculpture, and creative craftsmanship from Wales and throughout the globe over the last 500 years. It is decorated with one of Europe’s most extensive collections of impressionist art.

 National Museum Cardiff

The sisters Gwendoline and Margaret Davies left 260 works to the museum in 1951 and 1963. Their bequest is the core of its Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection, with works by artists including Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh, and sculptures by Auguste Rodin.

The museum also has natural history galleries, including the Evolution of Wales galleries, and entry is free.

3. Tredegar House

One of the most impressive examples of Welsh architecture, Tredegar House also ranks among the most important homes built in the British Isles towards the end of the 17th century.

This charming red brick home, nestled amid 90 acres of lush gardens and parks, makes for a terrific day trip.

Tredegar House, Newport

For almost five hundred years, one of the most influential families in all of Wales—the Morgans and, subsequently, the Lords Tredegar—called this mansion their own. By the end of the 18th century, the Morgan family had amassed an estate of more than 40,000 acres throughout Monmouthshire, Breconshire, and Glamorgan counties. The cultural history of south-east Wales is deeply affected by their lives and their contributions to society, economy, and politics.
