Bristol has plenty of views worthy of being captured on camera - from landmarks to quiet corners of the city centre, there is plenty to see. Of course many people, both locals and tourists, share images of our beautiful city on their social media, well it would be rude not to.
While Clifton Suspension Bridge, Ashton Court or The Christmas Steps might seem like great locations for the perfect snap, it is somewhere else which has been named as one of the most Instagrammed locations in the country. Clifton Observatory has been identified by London North Western Railway as one of the "worst kept secrets" in Britain.
Of course the Observatory is an iconic part of the city's landscape but it seems visitors just cannot get enough of sharing the incredible views of Bristol and Avon Gorge. Built in the mid 18th century the observatory has had several roles but is currently thriving as a tourist attraction, cafe and wedding venue.

Having been restored in 2015 there is more to the Observatory than a cafe and a great view. The museum and the Giant's Cave have proved popular in their own right too.
Originally built as a windmill for corn in 1766 it later became known as “The Snuff Mill” when it was converted into a grinding for snuff. But, on 30th October 1777, the sails were left turning during a gale and the mill caught fire.
It then remained derelict for 52 years, until an artist rented it as a studio. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building and is on the Buildings at Risk Register.
Other South West landmarks designated as the UK's worst kept secrets include Fistral Beach and St Michael's Mount.
