Those are new terms for me (I’m a Metophobe). Landspout seems more plausible as Gustnados rarely connect to the cloud base (according to Wikipedia) - this almost certainly was. Here’s the image with some post editing:

Thanks for taking the time to respond - really helpful. It seemed to reach quite close to the ground but I can’t confirm if it actually did. If I had the opportunity I would have tried to drive toward it but I was stuck in traffic. It was quite a sight to see, one of those double take moments! I’m absolutely fascinated by the weather, especially tornados so you can imagine my excitement when I saw it.

I was hoping to get your opinion on this funnel cloud / tornado looking cloud I spotted this evening. It was near Thornbury, Bristol / River Severn. We’ve had some heavy rain and ominous clouds around but even with my limited meteorological knowledge I find it unlikely this would be the conditions for a tornados. Sadly I couldn’t study it enough to see rotation. What are your thoughts?

Constant thunder and lightning, rain of biblical proportions! -
Lots of flashing to my south, similar to yesterday, however, this time I do hear faint thunder, come on!

Whilst I realise it will pass me, the fork lighting in the distance is still a real treat. ☺ï¸

Just had 10 minutes of torrential downpour, fun while it lasted. -

Seems like most of the precipitation will miss Bristol. -
Non stop thunder at the moment, lovely!
-
This is similar to what I saw!
-
Saw a flash and having thunder every few minutes!
-
Like the sound of that!
-
I'm not, no, however I wouldn't know if it was even if it "hit me in the face".
-
Just looking at the cloud I can see what can only be described as a funnel. I realise that it isn't but it certainly looks ominous!
-
Very dark cloud moving across the sky here at Frenchay. Shame it'll miss me but it looks impressive!

85% humidity here. Praying for some light shows tonight. :-)
-
Humidity has shot up to 75%, not sure what relevance this has. Is higher humidity relative to lower temperature? It was 30c earlier with humidity at 50% and it was "comfortable". Now it's 24 and I'm sweating buckets!
-
Temperature dropping now, peaked at 30.7c. Sky filled with Cirrocumulus clouds now.
-
Just hit 30c here, +1.6c/hr, mental.
