The 8 Best Bridges in Bristol, England
Bristol is a quirky British city with beautiful hilly vistas and plenty of historic sights to explore. Anyone interested in ships will have a blast aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the world’s first great oceanliner, and the Matthew, a replica of the ship upon which John Cabot sailed to America in the 15th century. The graceful Clifton Suspension Bridge is another must-see.

Designed and built in 1836 by a young engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, this 702-foot-long, 250-foot-high suspension bridge gracefully spans the Avon Gorge between Clifton and Leigh Woods.

An amazing feat of engineering crossing high above the stunning Avon Gorge which in itself is interesting as there is a wealth of rare fauna

Great travelling over this bridge to admire the views, good photo opportunities for passengers plus the toll has now been stopped so definitely worth a trip.

Whilst not as romantic as the original Severn crossing suspension, its sister the Second Severn Crossing is a marvel of modern engineering - truly fit for the 21st century!

As a tourist in Bristol I was much surprised when I came across this bridge! The padlocks were so colourful and really gave the area a shine. The rustic feel of each padlock each shares a story, and seeing how many there really are is breath-taking.

Just happened to be on my way and it was swung. Great guy in charge of the controls was a mine of information. The last water hydraulic power in the docks. Which explains the tower on the wooden building by the bridge. Would be a good idea to have some words of explanation for anyone who does not have the good luck of being there when it is working.
