Gromit Unleashed & Aardman Sculpture Trails
A Bristol favourite for kids all over the world..
One of Bristol’s most beloved events, the Gromit Unleashed trails (and their spin-offs) feature giant, artist-designed sculptures of Wallace, Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Feathers McGraw. Families and art lovers travel from all over the UK to follow these creative trails through parks, streets, museums and harbourside paths.
We’re ideally located for exploring the trail — and you can even stay in a house with its own iconic mural: The Duel of Bristol by Conor Harrington.

Banksy’s Bristol on Your Doorstep
Bristol is Banksy’s hometown, and you’ll find his original murals hidden in plain sight all over the city — from Park Street to Stokes Croft and the harbour.
Join a guided walking tour, or download a self-guided Banksy map and explore on your own. Our central and South Bristol homes give you easy access to both the famous works and the ever-changing street art that makes the city so unique.
