On foot: About 10mins from the centre or 15mins from Temple Meads
From the city centre, turn right behind Arnolfini over the Prince Street Bridge and right again past the Museum of Bristol (MShed), walk along the harbour, past Olive Shed, Brunel’s Buttery and The Point (residential apartments) to the Maritime Heritage Centre and the SS Great Britain. Turn left onto Gasferry Road and walk on to the junction with the main road (Cumberland Road). Turn right and the main entrance to Spike Island is 100 yards on your right.

Follow the walking route along the harbourside (beware of old train tracks though) or, alternatively, a cycle path runs all the way down Cumberland Road from Wapping Road. To reach us, bear right onto the main road just before the cycle path bears left onto the ‘chocolate’ path. We are just 200 yards on your right. There are plenty of bike racks outside the main entrance to Spike Island.

From the city centre, take Wapping Road over the Prince Street Bridge behind Arnolfini and turn right onto Cumberland Road. Spike Island is about 1/2 mile on your right.

Closest station is Bristol Temple Meads (15 min walk from train station – follow signs to the SS Great Britain – Spike Island is half way up the Cumberland road running parallel to the river).

By bus:
Service ‘500 Harbour Link‘ runs every 20 minutes during the week and every 30 minutes on Saturdays. It takes a circular route via Temple Meads (go to the bus stop ‘TJ’ which is outside the station compound, across the road and outside a pub called ‘The Reckless Engineer’), the City Centre via Broadmead & Cabot Circus, Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI), Colston Street and ‘the centre fountains’ and onto Hotwells before pausing directly outside Spike Island.
