Start your Bristol experience with a trip to Bristol Harbour. The harbour has stood since the 13th century due to its excellent location upon the River Avon. 

In the past, this was the departure point for ships sailing to the ‘New World’ and a popular arrival destination for Europeans.

 Today, the main port has been moved further downstream but the harbour remains full of activity, with a number of arts and exhibitions spaces on-site, as well as cafes and interesting attractions. 

Take a river cruise on a ferry to learn more about Bristol, the River Avon, and nearby towns.
