Bristol & Wales day 28 Sun 20 May 2018

Left Porlock in Somerset before 9am and drove to Bristol in the county of Bristol. Saw Brunel’s Clifton bridge linking Clifton In Bristol with Leigh Woods in Somerset across the Avon Gorge, as we drove in. Parked the car and walked to the upper inland lock of the floating harbour. The floating harbor separated from the Avon River was constructed to overcome port limitations imposed by a high tidal range. Walked downstream from the inland lock and had a beer in a floating pub. Drove to Caerphilly Castle in South Wales and Yvonne took photos as I had Ieft my cameras in the car. Then drove on to Brecon Beacon Guesthouse which is under new ownership from when I made my booking. Dinner in the George Hotel (Wetherspoon) in Brecon where a member of staff gave us directions to the start of the walk we wanted to do tomorrow.Read more
