We at Debbie Fortune Estate agents have picked our top three personal favourite, local destinations to explore during the summer months (along with some of our favourite stop off points to recharge the batteries).

Our first favourite local destination is…

Portishead Marina, enjoy the clanging of the sails and the colourful mix of Yachts, narrow boats and the occasional dingy, whilst meandering around the dockside, which has a wonderfully relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere with great cafes and bars. Stop off for Brunch at the wonderful Aqua restaurant aqua-restaurant.com and enjoy a spot of people watching with a nice espresso or even a cheeky Aperol Spritz, before continuing onto the lifeboat station and the Royal Inn http://www.theroyalinnportishead.co.uk/ , where you may be lucky enough to see the passing container ships bringing their cargo into Royal Portbury and Avonmouth Dockyards.
