Bristol: Brunel's harbour and the ships that changed the world
Bristol · United Kingdom
from 15 £ per person
You will walk along the water in Bristol. You will see a harbour where the water never goes down. You will see a bridge named after a man called Pero. You will see a museum that is free to enter. You will see a small wooden ship from the year 1497. You will see a giant iron ship, made of iron, not wood. You will see the place where the harbour meets the river. Everything is flat. We walk slowly. We stop whenever you want.
