Below is some historic, cultural and background information about the area of Bristol in the United Kingdom.

• Bristol is a city, unitary authority area and ceremonial county in South West England.
• It is 105 miles (169 km) west of London, and 24 miles (39 km) east of Cardiff.

• Bristol is the largest centre of culture, employment and education in the region.
• Its prosperity has been linked with the sea since its earliest days.
• Bristol has a tradition of local political activism, and has been home to many important political figures.
• It is unusual in having been a city with county status since medieval times.
• The county was expanded to include suburbs such as Clifton in 1835, and it was named a county borough in 1889.
• It 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 it.

• As well as its nautical connections, the city's economy is reliant on the aerospace industry, defence, the media, information technology and financial services sectors, and tourism.
