Bristol is a city, unitary authority area and ceremonial county in South West England, 105 miles west of London, and 44 miles east of Cardiff.
It is the most populous city in South West England. It received a royal charter in 1155 and was granted county status in 1373. For half a millennium it was the second or third largest English city, until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester in the Industrial Revolution during the latter part of the 18th century. It borders the counties of Somerset and Gloucestershire, also located near the historic cities of Bath to the south east and Gloucester to the north. The city is built around the River Avon and it has a short coastline on the estuary of the River Severn, which flows into the Bristol Channel.
Bristol is the largest centre of culture, employment and education in the region. From its earliest days, its prosperity has been linked to that of the Port of Bristol, the commercial port, which was in the city centre but has now moved to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth and Portbury, to the western extent of the city boundary. In more recent years the economy has been built on the aerospace industry and the city centre docks have been regenerated as a centre of heritage and culture. There are 34 other populated places on Earth named Bristol, most in the United States, but also in Peru, Canada, Jamaica and Costa Rica, all presumably commemorating the original.
Bristol is in a limestone area, which runs from the Mendip Hills to the south and the Cotswolds to the north east. The rivers Avon and Frome cut through this limestone to the underlying clays, creating Bristol's characteristic hilly landscape. The Avon flows from Bath in the east, through flood plains and areas which were marshy before the growth of the city. To the west the Avon has cut through the limestone to form the Avon Gorge, partly aided by glacial meltwater after the last ice age. The gorge aided in the protection of Bristol Harbour, and has been quarried for stone to build the city. The land surrounding the gorge has been protected from development, as The Downs and Leigh Woods. The gorge and estuary of the Avon form the county's boundary with North Somerset, and the river flows into the Bristol Channel at Avonmouth at the mouth of the River Severn. There is another gorge in the city, in the Blaise Castle estate to the north.
Since the mid 19th century scores - perhaps hundreds - of hotels throughout the world have carried the name Bristol. They are traditionally upscale, offering a high standard of accommodation. These hotels had no connection with each other apart from the name, which implied the promise of quality, and may have become popular in part because 'Bristol' is easy to say in any language, even when transliterated into Cyrillic. Evoking the Victorian Golden Age of Travel, many of their colorful and elegant luggage labels have become the centerpieces of ephemera collections, as shown in the embedded image.
The number of Bristol hotels probably peaked in the 1920s. There was one in Burlington Gardens in London, and the Bristol in Mar del Plata, Argentina, was regarded as the finest hotel in South America. A revolutionary's bomb tore apart the Bristol in St Peterburg in 1905 and the Bristol in Copenhagen provided Leon Trotsky with an alibi following his 1936 trial – he was accused of plotting against Stalin at the hotel, which at that time had in fact burnt down.
