Ascentnominal or unknown

thumbnail

This city stroll concentrates on what made Bristol an important port. In the 18th century, Bristol's docks comprised the second largest port in the country. However, as ships became larger the tortuous River Avon became impossible to navigate and trade gravitated to Liverpool and the new docks at the Avon's mouth. Today the city's docks are mainly used for leisure and recreational activities but reminders of Bristol's maritime past can still be seen.
