About Bristol

Bristol is a city located in the south west of England and is the UK's 8th most populous city. The city borders the counties of Somerset and Gloucestershire and is close to the historic spa city of Bath to the south and Gloucester to the north. The city has been built around the River Avon and has a short coastline on the Severn Estuary which flows into the Bristol Channel.

Bristol has a long maritime history of trading commodities, originally wool cloth exports and imports of fish, wine, grain and dairy produce, later tobacco, tropical fruits and plantation goods; major imports now are motor vehicles, grain, timber, fresh produce and petroleum products. The port was originally in the city centre but was moved to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth. The site of the former dock in the city centre has been redeveloped and now attracts visitors to its bars, restaurants and cultural venues.

Bristol is home to two major universities: the University of Bristol, a "redbrick" university chartered in 1909, and the University of the West of England, formerly Bristol Polytechnic, which gained university status in 1992. The University of Law also has a campus in the city.

The city has two main line railway stations: Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway which is located to the north of the city.

About Hull

Located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, the city of Hull was founded late in the 12th century by the monks of Meaux Abbey who needed a port where the wool from their estates could be exported. They chose a place at the junction of the rivers Hull and Humber to build a quay. Today, Hull is a modern, cosmopolitan city surrounded by colourful seaside resorts, a jaw-dropping coastline and miles and miles of tranquil countryside. Whether it's sandcastles on the beach or a night on the tiles, clambering over cliffs or strolling around a stately home, Hull has something for everyone. Whilst in the city pay a visit to the Museum of Club Culture which is the world's only museum dedicated to celebrating nightclub and streetstyles from around the world. Alternatively, take a stroll around Hull Old Town and marvel at the Georgian architecture, historic pubs and take a ride on the only swinging footbridge in the United Kingdom. Continuing with the pub theme why not follow The Ale Trail which takes visitors to some of the oldest pubs in the city which include George Hotel - Hull's oldest surviving licensed pub with the smallest window in England.
