Bristol is a city in the UK. Be sure to check out Stokes Croft, where there is a lot of alternative culture and gorgeous graffiti and street art. Also there's a social centre worth checking out, with cheap food in the cafe: Kebele; or try: Café Kino the not-for-profit co-operative veggie café

Hitching Out

From Stokes Croft, turn right on Ashley Rd until you hit a big roundabout. After the roundabout, just when the M32 starts, there is a long hard shoulder where cars can stop for you.

Alternative spot

Where the avon ring road (A4174) meets the M32 you can try to get a lift standing by the traffic lights next to the roundabout which is right before the slip road. (better than M32 in centre ; but 7 km north of centre )

They have been rebuilding the start of the M32 in 2009 . The only place to exit from central Bristol is near to "M32 Silvey Services " opposite Staples . Suggested to walk back 20-40 metres towards Bristol centre - takes 1-2 hours to get a lift in daylight . In very light traffic (Sunday) , you can catch cars as they leave the petrol service station.

You can take a risk by hitchng on the M32 / M4 roundabout to London - 8km from centre , watch out for police , who may move you .
