Bristol Harbourside Walk
We drove to the Long Ashton Park and Ride and took the bus to Hotwell Road where we were joined by more walkers. Thirteen of us set off on a three mile walk from Junction Lock Swing Bridge near Merchants Road on a dry and increasingly bright winter morning.
We went along the north side of the harbour on the interesting Harbourside Walk, passing historic sites such as the Pumphouse, which is now a pub, various quays and former docks. Along the waterfront many attractive terraced houses and blocks of flats have been built, demonstrating how the city successfully regenerated what was once largely a derelict docklands area.
