Hotwells, Bristol Number of views as of 14th June 2018 = 390. Hotwells is a district of the city of Bristol (Avon, England), located just west of the city centre and south of the suburb of Clifton. The stretch of water in the foreground is part of Bristol's Floating Harbour, constructed in the early 19th century to allow ships to access Bristol Docks, unrestricted by the tidal ebbs and flows of the River Avon. Hotwells gets its name from the warm springs which bubble up through the rocks of the Avon Gorge underneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Date: 18th February 2014.

Porlock Weir on the Bristol Channel (Somerset, UK) Like most ports in West Somerset, the small harbour is tidal but has a small home-based flotilla of yachts and is visited by many more in spring and summer. The port has existed for over 1,000 years. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reports that in 1052 Harold Godwinson came from Ireland with nine ships and plundered the area and even before that in 86 AD it was visited by Danes. In the 18th and 19th centuries coal from south Wales was the main cargo and in World War II pit props cut in local forests were exported the other way.
