"Bristol Temple Meads is one of the six most important stations in the UK – a Grade I listed Gothic masterpiece designed by Brunel with fascinating architectural details at every turn. Look out for his statue in the forecourt. For the city centre and Cabot Circus, you’ll want the Friary exit. Just follow the signs for Temple Quay. Feeling peckish? Hart's Bakery outside does exceptional pastries and coffee. Turn left out of the main entrance and look for Arch 35."
