About

The Hotwells and Harbourside ward occupies a distinct curve of the River Avon, directly southwest of Bristol's city centre. Its geography is defined by the steep, wooded slopes of the Avon Gorge to the west and the engineered waterways of the Floating Harbour to the east. This creates a varied terrain, from the residential streets climbing the gorge to the level pedestrianised paths along the water's edge. The ward is a key transit point, containing major road and rail crossings into the city.

The area integrates historic industrial heritage with contemporary use. Remnants of the port's infrastructure, like the massive Underfall Yard sluices, operate alongside converted warehouses now containing apartments, offices, and museums. The Cumberland Basin, a complex network of locks and swing bridges, remains a functional piece of maritime engineering. The ward's focal point is the large, open water space of the harbour itself, used for recreation and events, directly overlooked by the glass-fronted buildings of the @Bristol development.
