About us - the people behind Bristol Insight
Who writes Bristol Insight, how the guide is researched, how we keep practical information current, our UK editorial standards, and how to get in touch too.
Bristol Insight is written by two people. One has lived in the city long enough to have an opinion about every bakery on Gloucester Road; the other spent ten years writing about its buses. Between us, we cover the city's neighbourhoods, its transport, its history and the best places to sit down for a pint.
Editor Imogen Pearce
Covers: Neighbourhoods / Walks / Food / Architecture
Imogen Pearce is a Bristol-based travel writer who has lived in the city for over fifteen years. She edits Bristol Insight and contributes to regional lifestyle and travel publications.
She writes most often on neighbourhoods, walks, food and the slow architecture of the city. Her day involves more long coffees on Boyce's Avenue than is strictly professional.
Contributing writer Henry Ashworth
Covers: Transport / Maritime history / Pubs / Day trips
Henry Ashworth is a contributing writer at Bristol Insight. He spent a decade as features editor at a Bristol weekly before going freelance, and still knows more about the city's bus timetables than anyone strictly should.
He writes the practical half of the guide: routes, timetables, trains, ships and the occasional piece on a beloved pub. Based in Bedminster.
Editorial standards
Every stop and attraction page on this site is the product of on-the-ground reporting. Opening times, admission prices and bus frequencies are confirmed directly with the venue or operator, and the last-updated date on each page reflects the most recent confirmation.
Where we recommend paid attractions, we do so because we think they are worth the money, not because a ticket partner has asked us to. Outbound ticket links are labelled. Bristol Insight does not accept paid placements or sponsored content.
Who writes what
Each article on this site carries a single named author at the top. Imogen writes the neighbourhood essays, food recommendations and slow-read guides. Henry writes the transport, day-trip and practical pieces. The 19 stop-by-stop pages are a shared effort edited by both.
Accuracy and corrections
If you spot something out of date - a price change, a closed venue, a new bus frequency - please get in touch via the contact page. Corrections are published with the update date.
A word on the original site
This domain was previously the commercial website of a Bristol sightseeing tour operator. The current Bristol Insight is an independent editorial guide and is not affiliated with that operator. The 19-stop circuit remains the most coherent way to see the city, which is why we preserved the structure.
