Bristol might not be famed for its glittering skyscrapers, but determined altitude-seekers can still find a few rooftop bars to drink upon - if they know where to look.

Head towards Clifton, and you'll find two epic roof terraces with sweeping views over the local Downs; but if it's Bristol city centre you're headed for, you'll have to settle for a second-storey terrace - just high enough to confer king-of-the-castle privileges, and catch a few sunbeams on a summer afternoon.
