A lot of history available through displays, guides, and the buildings themselves. Party of the history is the ongoing recovery from the 2023 arson attack, but thankfully many of the local businesses survived and, as before, there’s still always some lovely old boats being worked on or waiting to be worked on, with the chance to watch skilled tradesmen at work on hulls and professors. A lovely cafe canopy to sit under as well. Good coffee. Great pasties.

Underfall Yard Visitor Centre is a free museum and well worth a visit, I went on a Sunday when some areas were not open so I will have to come again to see those. Its spread across several buildings, there is a nice cafe too.

Cute little spot by the water! I pop here for lunch sometimes — food’s nice (a bit pricey, ngl) but it feels worth it when the weather’s good. Sunny days make it extra lovely, rainy days still cozy though. Perfect for a little break. 🌊☕

A wonderful attraction at the very western end of Bristol’s Harbourside. Lots of information about the harbour, the industries that used to be there and the engineering which enabled it all to happen. Lots of knowledgeable volunteers bring it all to life. A working boatyard to explore, a nice cafe and fabulous views of the harbour.

Interesting free attraction charting Bristol's industrial maritime history, with preserved equipment and interactive displays. Particularly impressed with the large map, with illuminating areas highlighting places of historical importance. There are volunteers around to answer questions, and on-site café and toilet facilities.
