Bristol and Bath are a thriving pair of cities in the south east of England. They couldn’t be more different, but at just 11 miles apart, you can enjoy the best of both worlds if you choose to settle down in either city.

Bristol is the bigger of the two cities, with a population of 463,400. The wider urban population of Bristol and its surrounding areas is 724,000, making it the 8th-largest in the UK. Bath is smaller, with around 88,859 permanent residents.
