Best of Bristol on Instagram

Have you heard of IGers Bristol? They’re one of the best Bristol instagram accounts out there. Selecting the best Bristol instagram photos each day. We caught up with the amazing people behind the account, Jess and Jon to find their all time favourite 10 favourite Bristol instagram photos.

​1. Portishead Marina by @p4perlant3rn

There was no way I couldn’t choose this as a Photo Of The Day; it’s just so striking, isn’t it? Perfect reflections and symmetry from Oliver.

​2. Paddleboarder by @harrisonlpp

A perfect Bristol harbour summer scene….although this was taken in April! I also love this photo because after we posted it on Twitter, the guy who’s actually paddle-boarding here spotted himself and made himself known to us! It’s things like this which give Bristol it’s small city vibe which I love.

3. Incwel by @moodycolin319

I love Colin! He goes around Bristol taking lots of candid shots which always make me smile. I thought this one was great. It also gave me another excuse to get on my ‘There Is More Than One Graffiti Artist in Bristol’ soapbox and inform the world – yet again – that this is not a Banksy. It’s by Incwel. And it replaced the Banksy which used to be there.

4. Kingsdown & Montpelier View by @richlorri

Even though this isn’t the clearest photo in the world – probably because Rich took it hanging out of a friend’s window in St. Andrews – it’s just a thing of beauty. After we’d featured it, another IGer suggested it made Bristol look like the Amalfi Coast. Agreed.

5. Hotwells by @dazzter77

Daren’s a regular Photo Of The Day winner/contender, just because he tags us in his consistently gorgeous photos of Bristol! This one is a personal favourite for me because it just sums up ‘my Bristol’: vibrant colours, beautiful architecture and THAT bridge.

6. Last Light by @joshuaperrettphotography (now @shadowcatch)

The harbourside view towards the coloured houses of Hotwells remains one of the most captured sites of Bristol and this mesmerising shot taken by Joshua Perrett synchronises day and night light to stunning effect.

7. Misty Bridge by @jim_cosseyphoto

No photo gallery of Bristol is complete without a shot of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and this picture taken by local photographer Jim Cossey gives a unique view of the landmark which appears to show a bridge to nowhere. The fascinating lighting also contributes to this great image.

8. I Just Adore Bristol by @justagirl_75

We just adore this picture which shows rowers travelling across the floating harbour in the sunshine. The recently installed graphic over the harbour has captured the imagination of Instagrammers and this picture by Monique demonstrates why.

9. Mirrored Labyrinth by @adela.s

This springtime picture was taken at the University of Bristol’s Royal Fort Gardens. The mirrored sculpture within the garden is often the subject of creative images and Instagrammer Adéla has generated a cloud like effect with nearby blossom to achieve a beautiful shot.

10. Starry Bridge by @mallen_photo

Instagrammer Martin Allen produced this memorable shot taken from the Cumberland Basin looking towards Clifton and the Suspension Bridge. The vibrant sky light coupled with the inclusion of stars makes this a stand out picture which shows Bristol at its very best.
