Lonely Planet review

For a taste of the aristocratic high life once enjoyed by Bristol's merchants, head for the 18th-century Georgian House. This stunning six-storeyed mansion was the home of former sugar merchant John Pinney, along with his family and his slave Pero (after whom Pero's Bridge is named). The house is magnificently preserved, with a booklined study, sitting parlours, several Georgian-themed bedrooms and the original library containing the Pinney family Bible.

But the true heart of the house is the basement kitchen, complete with jelly moulds, spice boxes and a roasting-spit big enough to roast an ox.
