The core of the early settlement was located in the Hadrian Close/Portway/Abon House area. The town and port evolved over the next three centuries, with a civilian occupation established by the early second century. By the third century a waterfront had probably been developed at the mouth of the River Trym, providing a local trading and transhipment centre. A road once connected Abona with the City of Bath and is still evident at Durdham Down 1.5 miles to the east, and probably is marked by Mariner's Drive in Sea Mills.Civilian and military occupation continued until the late fourth century when the town expanded to the south. No evidence has been found suggesting that occupation continued into the fifth century, and it is likely that Abona declined from the later 4th century onwards before being abandoned, in common with many other Romano-British settlements. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/fca72200-0398-11f1-952b-edf25a5ec216-rimg-w1053-h740-dc2f4847-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/fce7fb90-0398-11f1-97b0-d524e9ee82cb-rimg-w988-h740-dca78f78-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/fd20bed0-0398-11f1-a952-29a52f1bb615-rimg-w987-h740-dca78d76-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/fd4bed80-0398-11f1-a952-29a52f1bb615-rimg-w1027-h740-dcf5bd92-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/fd830310-0398-11f1-952b-edf25a5ec216-rimg-w987-h740-dc2e2d1d-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/fdad2050-0398-11f1-952b-edf25a5ec216-rimg-w1009-h740-dc45341b-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/fddc94c0-0398-11f1-97b0-d524e9ee82cb-rimg-w987-h740-dc78902e-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/fe099830-0398-11f1-952b-edf25a5ec216-rimg-w1031-h740-dc472e48-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/fe37ad10-0398-11f1-97b0-d524e9ee82cb-rimg-w987-h740-dc302f2e-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/fe637800-0398-11f1-a952-29a52f1bb615-rimg-w978-h740-dc302d32-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/fe93afc0-0398-11f1-952b-edf25a5ec216-rimg-w987-h740-dc161915-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bristol/tour-of-abonae-sea-mills-roman-bristol/100001982421488036 - **Event Categories**: business, kids, dog - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 16.96, max: 16.96, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Bristol - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Sea Mills Train Station - **lat**: 51.4799833 - **long**: -2.6499512 - **full address**: Sea Mills Train Station, Portway, Bristol, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Tour of Abonae (Sea mills), Roman Bristol. - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/83268036f2704be4051ba08f78dce89dc151d7abf2f55f5555da129d365a61d4-rimg-w1200-h595-dc74604b-gmir.jpg?v=1770409147 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Tour of Abonae (Sea mills), Roman Bristol. being held? - **A:** Tour of Abonae (Sea mills), Roman Bristol. takes place on Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Sea Mills Train Station, Portway, Bristol, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Tour of Abonae (Sea mills), Roman Bristol.? - **A:** Tickets for Tour of Abonae (Sea mills), Roman Bristol. are priced at GBP 17 per person.
