Why this spot
Roman port Abona at the Trym-Avon confluence, then a failed 1712 ship dock whose ruined walls still stand in the tidal mud
Roman finds and the surviving 1712 dock walls are documented; casual foreshore finds here are not published
Before you go
Hazards noted for this site.
Severn-fed Avon has a 12m-plus range and the channel floods fast
glutinous mud beyond the dock walls
