For transit calls the port offers unrivaled variety of excursions with The Cotswolds and Shakespeare's Stratford upon Avon to the North, Bath and Bristol to the East, Glastonbury, Wells and Cheddar Gorge to the South and Cardiff to the West. All of this within an hour of the port!
- A trip into Bristol to visit Brunel's SS Great Britain and the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Bristol blends the old with the new with a lovely City docks development alongside historic Bristol.
- The only cruise port able to reach The Cotwolds and the birthplace of William Shakespeare Stratford-upon-Avon. This tour gives an amazing literary tour alongside a visit to the beautiful Cotswolds.
- The closest cruise port to the UNESCO Roman City of Bath. If this is not enough it can be easily combined with a visit to Stonehenge ... a day trip never to be forgotten!
- A day trip to the beautiful county of Somerset with the UK smallest City of Wells, a visit to Cheddar Gorge (and the home of Cheddar cheese!) and see if you can find the witch at Wookey Hole caves.
- Just 10 minutes from the terminal you can cross over into Wales. Cardiff and numerous castles are all within easy reach of the port.
