	Bristol Harbour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bristol Harbour is the harbour in the city of Bristol, England.
		Bristol Harbour was the original Port of Bristol, but as ships, and their cargo, increased in size, it has now been largely replaced by docks at Avonmouth and Portbury, 5 km downstream at the mouth of the River Avon.
		Bristol grew up on the banks of the Rivers Avon and Frome, and since the 16th century the rivers have been modified for use as docks, including the diversion of the River Frome into Saint Augustine's Reach.
