5 miles. 18 minute drive. In 1809 Bristol was transformed by the opening of the Floating Harbour. 80 acres of tidal river was impounded to allow visiting ships to remain afloat all the time. Over the next two centuries the Harbour grew as a busy commercial port until it closed in 1975. Since then, it has been regenerated for leisure, commerce and residence.

For a really interesting insight into Bristol’s heritage, it’s well worth exploring the city’s Floating Harbour – nearly eight miles of waterways packed into three miles across the city. There are seven heritage trails to follow, which delve into Bristol shipping, explorer, and aviation history. Fantastic for all ages!

A lazy weekend stroll around the harbourside is a classically Bristolian thing to do. Highlights along the way including M shed, a massive disused warehouse that’s now a great museum that tells the story of the city. Children and big kids alike will enjoy the double-decker green bus parked inside. If you would rather travel by water no problem, ferry boats chug continuously around and across the harbour and right up to the landing stage at Bristol Temple Mead’s railway station. The harbourside is also the home of the legendary SS Great Britain ship. There are plenty of refuelling stops along the way, including several floating restaurants, cafés on floating pontoons and pubs such as the ostrich and pumphouse for lazy afternoon beers.

A fab destination and only 35 mins drive away. Bus and train services are excellent. Grab a water taxi from BristolTemple Meads Train station right into the historic Bristol Harbour. Don't forget to check out The SS Great Britain or The Matthew the replica wooden ship that John Cabot sailed on over 500 years again when looking for the Far East. He came across Canada and named it Newfoundland. Lots of Funky Bars and bristlingy with nightlife.
