Our city centre site is ideal with so much within walking distance: City Museum & Art Gallery; RWA; city docks with SS Great Britain, the 'Matthew' and Industrial Museum; Watershed media centre and Arnolfini; Avon Gorge, Leigh Woods and Clifton Suspension Bridge; Bristol Zoo and Botanical Gardens; Hippodrome and Theatre Royal; Colston Hall; At-Bristol; BBC; Bristol University; Bristol Cathedral and Lord Mayor's Chapel, and Ashton Court estate. We are spoilt for choice.

Further afield the list of venues is equally extensive. A flavour can be gleaned from this selection: Classics to Fishbourne and Carleon; History to Chepstow Castle and the Commandery at Worcester; Science to At-Bristol and Biology to Bristol Zoo.

Travel is not restricted to day trips: there have been recent sightings of QEH boys on the battlefields of the Somme, in downtown Manhattan, on the streets of Riga, amidst the Moorish splendour of the Alhambra and on the top of the Himalayas! Boys travel to explore Art in Paris; Physics in Grenoble and Modern Languages in Normandy.

Projected trips to France, Spain, Germany, Italy, the USA and the West Indies are well in hand.
