About Bristol Marina
Bristol Marina, which is situated in Bristol Harbour near the city centre, is one of the most notable attractions in the city. It's located adjacent to the popular SS Great Britain and is a common stop on any walking tour through the Bristol waterfront. Every year, the marina fills up with scores of tourists, heading into town to attend the Bristol Harbour Festival and Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. While a boat may seem like an unlikely way to reach Bristol, plenty of well-heeled Londoners and other boating Britons use the many rivers and canals to reach Bristol. That's not to say that Bristol Marina is trafficked as heavily as Bristol Coach Station, but it's still a common way to reach the city.
Whether you're looking to rent a boat or are heading to Bristol on your own, you can trust your bags with Bounce. We have tons of options for luggage storage in the area, including the primary location at Bristol Marina.
