The Avonmouth Docks are part of the Port of Bristol, in England. They are situated on the northern side of the mouth of the River Avon, opposite the Royal Portbury Dock on the southern side, where the river joins the Severn estuary, within Avonmouth. Accessible via a 210 metres long and 30 metres wide lock, today the docks are one of the UK's major ports for chilled foods, especially fruit and vegetables.
