Not far from the floating dock is St Mary Redcliffe Church. It is thought that this is the fifth church to have been built on this site and some parts of this impressive building date back to the 12th century. The church is clearly visible from the harbour-side and it is little wonder that it was an important focus for seafarers in medieval times. When they spotted the spire, they knew that they had reached home safely

John Wesley built the New Room in 1739 and, as well as being used for meetings and worship, it functioned as a dispensary and schoolroom for the poor. There is a double-decker pulpit - the upper part was used for the main sermon and the lower part for the rest of the service. A museum is housed upstairs in the old preachers' rooms where you can learn about the life and work of John.

Located on College Green close to the floating harbour, this wonderful cathedral has undergone many changes since an abbey was founded on the site in 1148. Step inside the Cathedral and marvel at the architecture - the interior gives the appearance of a magnificent great hall. Indeed, Bristol Cathedral is one of the finest examples of a 'Hall Church' in the world.
