The leisurely way to get about the city centre. The ferry taxis passengers from Bristol Temple Meads into town as well as to the ss Great Britain and to Hotwells, where the floating harbour meets the River Avon. There are occasional trips up the Avon Gorge and under the Clifton Suspension Bridge. They offer up a traffic free perspective of the historic docks which gave rise to the phrase 'ship shape and Bristol fashion'.
Upon arrival at Bristol Temple Meads go out of the rear of the station and follow the signs to the ferry service behind the Bristol & West offices. Ferries also depart from the fountains on Narrow Quay;
