Good to see you in Bristol! It's a wonderful city:) My home town too

As a local, I have genuinely no idea how you managed to get to all of these within 2 hours

2 hours is more than enough to walk through most city centres for me

The city centre is massive, it would take at least 5 hours to walk from the bear pit to bedminster bridge with how busy it is, even if your a fast person

Love Banksy. I even incorporated one piece in a model layout. 😄

3:51 Steps! The equivalent of a 15 storey building

Really enjoying the Vicki Explores series, hoping to visit Bristol in the New Year 2020! :) x

I remember there was a Banksy Mural painted on the side of a house in Cato Street, Easton. It’s was estimated to have a higher value than the end terrace house it was painted on, if I remember correctly the owners tried to sell it as ‘A Banksy Painting with house attached’. Sadly for the owners, after their plans became known, the mural was vandalised before they had a chance to sell it.

Well done Vicki. Merry Christmas

Awesome!! Finding all the bankys and the pubs is also a good tour ... :) That took us the weekend , far too many hills in Bristol

"All the pubs". Sounds like a series Geoff would like.

I love Bristol! Its such a diverse city and have seen many of the Banksy's art!

Love your videos! Merry Christmas Vicki! 🎄Warmest Wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season! All the very best for a Healthy & Happy New Year! ...take care!

hey guys ...loving the vids ..i am going to be going from glasgow to london 1st class with first trentalia first time going the west coast route i usually go GNER due my love for the HST ...i have heard that the pendolino windows are small on the inside which can make you feel sick ...have you guys experienced this feeling ?

Call me crazy but I love the duck shot at 3:22 😎👍

There's also quite a bit of Brunel stuff in Bristol.

GWAN THE BRIZ. Nice to see the ends getting some love.

Love watching vicki explores

Thank you Vicki for showing a few places of interest in Bristol. There were other Banksy artworks in earlier years but they were painted over by angry residents. One of the best was the heli rat on a gatepost in Hensman's Hill, since seen only in the US of A. Now available from: www.etsy.com/listing/101682832/banksy-rat-stencil-flying-helicopter-rat I also found a rat-with-saw on a boarded up shop in Broadmead, duly photographed and made into a tee shirt.

Marshy: An "anonymous" bloke's drawings of lines and various dots etc. around the UK, some say there's a deeper meaning to them, whereas others say its just a train map. Who knows?!

Interesting tour of Bristol. I'll look out for the artwork next time I'm in the city. The M Shed Museum and Bristol Harbor Railway are a shadow of what they used to be. The M Shed Museum used to have a huge model railway which was scrapped when the museum was refurbished and the Bristol Harbor Railway was 1 1/2 miles long but since then most of it has been converted into a bus way.

Bristol is also home to Massive Attack, Portishead and other music artists & bands and that is where Trip Hop music was first made and heard of back in the 1990s and early 2000s. Plus Bristol is sometimes known as “Indie-Town”. And also has 2 small popular football teams-Bristol City & Bristol Rovers who are in the EFL and are known as “Tinpot clubs”. 😂🤣

Great to see a whistle-stop tour of my home city (although I left there when I was 9 to move to the other side of the Severn estuary !)

Love your explores. Great stuff.

You should be making documentaries for TV. Your personable and knowledgeable style is on a par with Bettany Hughes and Alice Roberts. Someone should find you an agent.

bumped into vicki while she was rushing around trying to film this video. an absolute pleasure!

Bristol is nice. I live in Bath and I’d love you to explore there

Good Video, cheers, David, *Merry Christmas*

Banksy nr 2 is very similar to the Johannes Vermeer - Meisje met de parel (Girl with the pearl), created around 1665-1667. This is the URL to the Dutch wikipedia page of the painting: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meisje_met_de_parel

We had a guy staying in our hostel and someone swore he was Banksy. The bloke did know about graffiti art. Don't know about the accent. There is a covered up Banksy on the square brick vent shaft, at ground level, for the multi storey car park opposite Afflek's Palace in Manchester. It was only a couple of feet across. It was covered in perspex because it had got quite tatty underneath. I used to pass it regularly but it was boarded over last year.

We were visiting my daughter in Bristol last Easter and happened to spot the 'Well hung lover' completely by chance from the top deck of a bus. Rather randomly, we then heard about a Banksy exhibition in Gothenburg in the summer. Seeing as we live only half an hours drive away we just had to go, and I have to say it was the best art exhibition I've ever been to!

What did you think of stokes croft ? The pic under the mild wild west changes , always alternates between a male and female artist and the previous artist picks the next one .

Love the video

As I am from and still live in Bristol, I feel obliged to watch this video!

Awesome! Go, Vicki!

Great video Vicky, I work in the former GWR distribution office which is attached to Temple Meads Station and also includes the beautifully restored Bristol & Exeter House and its great to see some of Bristol’s sights being explored and shared online!

Excellent Video! On a recent charter train trip to Bristol, We took a ferry to SS Great Britain, and had a walk round it and a drink on a boat cafe. Walked up to the Clifton Suspension Bridge along the river valley. Walked through Clifton and down a hidden passageway with steep steps with a random bus stop along it back down the hill . Walked all the way back along the docks to Queen Square and then back to Temple Meads and tea on the train home. Done in around 6 hours. Loverly sunny day.

I really enjoy ur Vicki Explores videos

A great place to explore , shame the old station engine shed building is still not back in use yet, another great vicki explores

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones and to all Vicky Explores fans near and far. thank you for great videos. looking forward to 2020 and new adventures

My mother's father was born in Bristol, where I believe his family owned a pub. He emigrated to Canada when he was around 12 (c. 1910), then moved to Chicago, where I still live. My mom and sister and I visited distant cousins in Bristol in 1978. They were very nice and _extremely_ proud of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, which they made sure we visited. I'd love to go back to the UK to ride the rails as you folks do, but my wife isn't up to it, alas, so I watch your videos instead. Cheers!

Nice... I always enjoy going to Bristol - there is stacks to see there...

Glad you had the chance to do that!

Yayyayay Bristol !!!!

Love these vidoes. Go Vicki Should go to stratford upon avon

@@rippawallet Honestly, I don't know how to explain properly. Maybe I have used the wrong word(?); English is not my first language. I live not far from the city centre, so it might be why. These are just the feelings like "ah, that road I used to walk/cycle that day on the way to the party at my friend's place", or "ah, yes, I have been on the bus passing this countless times", or "aw, yeah, that's the alley next to my previous accommodation", or something like that.

Love Bristol, it was my nearest major city growing up. It's very charming and the locals are fun. The level of homelessness is horribly depressing though.

How could you walk past it but not eat at Brunel's Buttery! Best place ever.

I was travelling in Bristol yesterday!

Didnt seem to get the notification or this video come up on subscription box??? Help me

Great video

My eldest niece was born in Bristol and you were exploring quite near where she used to live :)

very well filmed.

There are some Banksy originals around the streets of Weston super Mare too if your interested in a follow up of this Vicky. Hope you and Geoff are well by the way. Still can't get over seeing you both in May at the NRM. Merry Christmas, all my best wishes for a great New year and decade of 2020. X

A short and sweet film with many nice touches.

So strange to think you were walking around my city (at quite a pace)! I've never seen the Smiley Wall before but I work quite close to the Girl with the Pierced Eardrum.

I LOVE BRISTOLLLL and Bath go there too

That violin graffiti (4:32) is right by my uni accommodation!!! I walk past it most days! (still haven't had a chance to find any Banksy's though)

@Pet C Not all uni students like getting pissed every night if at all, do you really think someone watching a video on a channel about train stations would really want to go out every night?. I haven't been in Bristol long and have been fixated with my uni work and coping on my own for the first time, but seeing something that I recognised it was nice that someone else appreciated it too. And some of us do get off our phones when walking about, which has made me see a load of great graffiti in Bristol that isn't Banksy

A limited set of Bristol Banksys but a great vid nonetheless!

All the banksys

When are you going to do the least used station in Bristol? Geoffrey said that he will do it in one of his videos

Can you please do a video with the new Transpennine Express, East Midlands Railway and Avanti West Coast Franchises??

My home town!!!

second one is a copy of Vermeer, but I guess you knew that.

Come visit Bristol again and we can show you more quirky bits of our city

Proper job! Gurt lush innit.

happy Christmas

KZread choises tonight.. Viki explores Bristol or Geoff drones on and on about the tube map :-) Just kidding.... love all you guys videos :-)

As a Bristol born ... this was amazing to see after moving to Oban in Scotland (which I’m enjoying your videos for places to visit up here) but you missed a banksy which was over the road from the children’s hospital and also the children’s hospital has a great Harry Potter story :) x

That's some pretty good training for the Ultra Challenge.

#merrybristmas Vicki!

Vicky, you can't do justice to Bristol in 5 minutes.

Why was Geoff the model for the bloke hanging?😉

Used to see loads of small ‘Banksy’s’ sprayed on walls around Park St and Clifton in the late 90s. Of course at the time he was unknown and they would be quickly painted over. There were some larger pieces dotted around that lasted several years, notably Welsh Back, St Paul’s and Easton but they’re long gone. Shame.

@thecornedbeefcouncil9792

Pet C yet the Council in Bristol have set aside and actively encouraged graffiti art in several areas of the City. Ashton Gate has some large murals by local artists and they’re incredible. The large Banksy pieces on Welsh Back, St Paul’s (dedicated to a friend of his) and Easton as well as the ones that survive in Stokes Croft and Park Street are/where stunning. Nothing wrong with a bit of colour.

Bit disappointed to be honest. It was almost entirely about Banksy. There was nothing explaining why for example the clock on the city Corn Exchange has two minute hands for example, or the story behind the (now closed) public house called "The Reckless Engineer"

She talks more slower than Geoff. Thus, it´s better for english practice.

A bit rushed without much vision of the "Art" or explanation!

Bristolist

Could have been an interesting video about history (perhaps highlighting Brunel). Or, I thought, Vicki's scarf might have hinted at a tour of Doctor Who locations. Instead we just saw a lot of graffiti. And boring graffiti at that.

I would like to explore your bristols!.
