One of only three bridges in the world lined with shops, this exquisite 18th-century bridge is one of the most admired structures in Bath.

For those who are familiar with the film Les Miserables in which Javert, played by Russell Crowe, jumped to his death, will be delighted to discover that the bridge of Javert's demise is actually located in Bath . It is, I suggest, best approached via the toe path along the river. As you round the bend the bridge springs into view. If you continue to the bridge, you can ascend the stairs and emerge on the bridge to discover a wide range of interesting shops and cafes. Well worth exploring, without the need to visit Paris.

Birnbeck Pier, known locally as the Old Pier, stands on the North Somerset coastline at Weston-super-Mare. Built between 1864 and 1867, it is a unique structure, being the only British pier that links the mainland to an island. Over its lifetime it has enjoyed mixed fortunes. In its heyday it was the Victorian equivalent of a modern theme-park, but has been shut to the public since 1994.

We're now advised that there is a Compulsory Purchase Order on Birnbeck Pier! Allelluya! Such good news - all the residents of Weston-super-Mare and beyond are delighted! We hope they can soon get on with it and save this wonderful landmark, the only pier connected to an island in the country! And just this week a new Banksy artwork appeared adjacent to the pier. I went along to see it but it had been stolen in the night, before the Council came along to safeguard it. They even took part of the stone wall. But it was still lovely to see the pier, even though it gets rustier by the day. Not long now before it's saved and returned to its former glory! Hurrah!

we stayed in the hotel next to this toll. while there are no obvious signs to alert you to be existence of the toll and no card option it’s still a lovely little piece of heritage. we didn’t experience any of the rudeness that others have mentioned in their reviews. we also had a walk across the bridge while we were there. set within a beautiful setting. Loved the old sign!
