Filled with even a modest spring tide the Trym looks quite idyllic. Rus in urbe.

Ah, you must be at the Sea Mills end to get a tide... thankfully never gets up as far as Westbury-on-Trym ;)

The photo was taken looking upstream from the bridge on Trym Cross. Somewhere I have read that tides in the middle ages did flow higher, but today the very highest I have seen reached somewhere near the bridge on Dingle Road. Even the most extreme will meet a definitive stop at the weirs near the confluence of Trym and Hazel Brook.

A better effort at the full moon just past. This was 12.8 m, enough to get on the quay at Sea Mills harbour, but not into Station Road or the allotments. This morning the same height ran to half way between Shirehampton Road and Dingle Road, and I have seen 13.5 m, so wise to stand by the lifeboats in Westbury.
