With an area close to 40 square miles, the city is one of the largest communities in the whole southwestern region. It is a key tourist attraction, famous for its art galleries, numerous festivals, annual fairs and exhibitions, museums, parks, gardens, pubs, amazing architecture, and excellent modern facilities for sports and leisure. Bristol can be found in the large delta of the river of Severn, and the city is situated about 100 miles south of the city of Birmingham, about 25 miles sheer east of the city of Cardiff, and about 120 miles sheer west of the capital city of the United Kingdom, London.
According to some archaeological discoveries, the area of modern Bristol has been inhabited since the early ages, but historically the city is important as a starting point for many overseas expeditions and exploitative missions, especially numerous European voyages to the newly discovered continent of North America which took place in plenty in the Middle Ages. In the late Middle Ages, Bristol used to be among the largest cities in the country, with quite a developed economy and high levels of living. Today's Bristol is a destination for tourists because the city is famous for its landmarks like the historic Clifton Suspension Bridge, Cabot Tower, Brandon Hill Park, Wills Memorial Building, and many others. Bristol is considered to be one of the key cultural centers of the United Kingdom, just like the cities of Liverpool and London.

These useful figures are given to insane precision! At the latitude of Bristol, UK (my home), 1 second of arc of longitude corresponds to about 20 metres on the ground. You position the city with a precision 10,000 smaller, ie to about 2mm ! My home city is much larger than that.
Corrected ;)
Um, Bristol, UK is not in the United States...
