Located in the heart of central Bristol, The Matthew is the ideal place to start your exploration of Bristol's historic harbourside and is one of the first maritime attractions you will see as you walk from the city centre along the quayside.

Bournemouth Aviation Museum is a self-funding Charitable Trust based near Bournemouth Airport where they host a wide variety of aircraft modern and old.

A must-visit destination on the edge of Bristol, the museum is housed in what was once a local brass factory: features from the original garden are still visible, including an unusual 30ft statue of Neptune and an incredible stone grotto. Inside the museum, expect to discover an amazing array of exhibitions including Roman ruins, a World War Two air raid shelter, an incredible 112-year-old Douglas motorbike used during WW1, and items from the infamous case of John Horwood who was (some say) unfairly hanged in Bristol New Gaol in 1821. Kingswood Heritage Museum is close to the Bristol to Bath cycle path, and is a great detour if you’re cycling between the two cities.
