The Bristol Harbour Railway

Opened in 1872, this preserved railway runs for about one mile in total alongside the Bristol Floating Harbour, from near the SS Great Britain to the "M shed" museum, with a branch alongside the River Avon new cut.

The M.V. Tower Belle

Built in 1920 the Tower Belle still retains the elegant lines of a traditional river steamer.

The bar will be open once under way and you can also purchase refreshments. We shall also have a full commentary on our route. Our cruise will traverse the locks at Cumberland Basin into the tidal river, with dramatic views of Brunel's suspension bridge, the River Avon gorge, the M5 bridge, and the Bristol Channel.
