Bristol Rhode Island
Located in Bristol County, Rhode Island, Bristol is about 12 miles southeast of Providence and 12 miles north of Newport. With a population of about 22,000, Bristol is easily accessible from Routes 114 or 136 via Route 195, and from the Mount Hope Bridge via Route 24.
Historic Bristol is a beautiful community with breathtaking water views from almost everywhere you look. Surrounded by Mount Hope Bay to the east and Narragansett Bay to the south and west, Bristol is indeed the quintessential New England waterfront town. Known as the "most patriotic town in America" Bristol plays host to the oldest continuous Fourth of July celebration in the nation. Since 1785 Bristol has celebrated the freedoms we all enjoy through prayer, parade and family gatherings. Flags wave proudly all around Bristol and the main street is adorned year 'round with a red, white and blue center stripe. It is said that more Bristol residents return home for the Fourth of July than any other time of year. That says something as to the special place this celebration has in Bristol, for patriotism is something we all take very seriously. Bristol streets are lined with historic homes, meticulously kept grounds, great shops and restaurants and terrific inns and bed and breakfasts - wonderful places to spend some time and take a journey back through history! Study history at one of Bristol's many interesting museums, such as The Herreshoff Marine Museum and America's Cup Hall of Fame, Linden Place, Bristol Art Museum, Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum, Coggeshall Farm Museum, Mt. Hope Farm, Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology and others, all great places to bring the family and learn while enjoying the beautiful day. Once you have toured the Bristol museums, relax by sailing or kayaking on Bristol Harbor, or for the land lovers, bike riding on the East Bay Bike Path or through Colt State Park are sure to provide spectacular views and sunsets. These and many other recreational activities await those who wish to see the true Bristol.
Bristol has municipal facilities for boating, and fishing. Bristol residents enjoy swimming at Beach Terrace, Bristol Highlands, Bristol Narrows and Town Beach. Colt State Park, a 464-acre recreational area, is open to the public for picnicking, sports, fishing, biking and swimming or just driving the family past beautiful scenery. The Bristol Warren Regional School District includes seven public elementary schools, a middle school and a high school. There are also two Catholic elementary schools. Several other private elementary and secondary schools are within easy driving distance. Roger Williams University, with schools of law and architecture, is at the southernmost tip of Bristol on Mount Hope Bay. |
