Watering-Places of England - Clifton, from Leigh Wood, 1850. 'Clifton, near Bristol, differs from the other watering-places in being far distant from the sea. It is resorted to partly on account of its hot springs, and partly from the extreme picturesqueneness and beauty of its scenery. The point of view taken in the accompanying Illustration gives, perhaps, its most striking and distinctive aspect...The river is very beautiful at high water; and then a residence in this pleasant place is made more interesting by the constant passing and re-passing of steam-boats and other vessels which ply between Bristol and various ports in the Bristol Channel, in Ireland, &c...Clifton is a very delightful place for those who desire retirement, and can take delight in rural and picturesque beauty. There are many excellent hotels; and, as a general rule, the lodging-houses are convenient, and not too expensive'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
