Clifton Suspension Bridge
The world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge was designed by the great Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, although he never lived to see his creation finished in 1864. Its spectacular setting on the cliffs of the Avon Gorge have made it the symbol of Bristol, drawing thousands of visitors a year just to stroll across for views of the gorge and elegant Clifton.
The free tours begin at 3.00pm every Sunday throughout the summer months (Easter Sunday to mid-Sept). Meet at the toll booth at the Clifton end of the Bridge and expect each tour to last around 45 mins. The guided tour is suitable for all ages and abilities - great for the enthusiast, the school project or for general interest.No need to book - just turn up.
A Visitor Centre on the Leigh Woods side of the Bridge is open daily 10.00am to 5.00pm.
