Bristol, as seen from the Underfall Yard. It's at the opposite end of the harbour from the centre, where the river was years ago damned to create the Floating Harbour. An overfall system, where water spilled over the top of the damn didn't work too well, apparently, so an underfall sluice system was created – hence the name. Today, boats are still built there, and it's an interesting to stroll through, and admire the colourful Cliftonwood hillside.
