What to expect

Bristol's Old Market is one of the city's oldest and most storied neighbourhoods, and this 75-minute audio walking tour brings its layered history to life.

Starting at Castle Bridge, you'll follow in the footsteps of Anglo-Saxon settlers, uncover the remnants of a once-mighty medieval castle, and trace nearly a thousand years of trade along streets that still hum with independent spirit.

Along the way, you'll pass coaching inns, hidden priest holes, a repurposed Victorian gin palace, and the country's first designated cycle route.

GPS technology keeps you on track at your own pace, with Heather's commentary playing through your earphones as you walk. The app works offline, so there's no need to worry about connectivity as you explore.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a long-time resident, this tour reveals a side of Bristol that most people walk straight past.
