This branch is located in the St. Nicholas Market area of Bristol, and is easy to get to via bus (parking is not easy to find in this area, though there are parking garages nearby). This branch is staffed with friendly, helpful people who do their best to find you a great deal for your holiday. I looked online first when planning my last two overseas trips, but Trailfinders found better deals and had suggestions for saving even more money. The last trip included car hire and when things went wrong with this aspect of the booking, Trailfinders quickly resolved the problem.

I went in here for information on Montpelier and the staff were very helpful in giving advice and tips. Situated quite far up Gloucester Road, you may only want to take a look if you live nearer the top end, but it is a good alternative to the typical travel agents around, and some deals are a lot cheaper.

Although it seems a bit odd to head to what initially looks like a camping shop to get your yellow fever jab done actually these guys are up-to-date with the current information on what you need where and when. You can get same-day jabs if you haven't been good at planning or have an emergency trip. In the shop below they have high-end hiking and travel-kit gear, but they do take their sales seriously so expect good discounts when they are on. If you go instore (or online) they have handy 'kit-lists' for different types of climate so you base your packing around it. Great for first-time explorers and professionals alike.

If you're in Bristol and getting itchy feet to be somewhere warmer/friendlier/more adventurous,…read morethen (after the travel agents) Nomad should be your first stop for travel essentials and jabs. There's plenty to see in the shop but it's best for clothes, sleeping bags, and stuff you need to stay healthy abroad. Although there's plenty here for the more laid back or less serious traveller, they do specialise in catering for more adventurous people too, with some pretty heavy duty tents and coats. If you're a complete beginner and not sure what you should be getting for your trip the staff can help out too. It's not cheap and there's lots of slightly useless 'travel accessories' to waste your money on (e.g. a solar powered ipod charger). Nevertheless, an essential shop if you want to taste something a bit more wild than Bristol.
