The Antigua Boat Sheds, dating back to the 1880s, are charming wooden structures on the banks of the Avon River. Visitors can rent rowboats, kayaks, or punts to glide along the tranquil waterway, passing under willow trees and through the Botanic Gardens. The sheds themselves are a picturesque landmark, painted in heritage colours, and evoke the city's English heritage. Punting tours with guides in Edwardian attire add a touch of old-world elegance.
