Clifton Suspension Bridge

Stunning suspension Bridge! The view is breathtaking either you look the bring from down or up. Cross the bridge walking is such and incredible experience. With car there is a toll to pay that's 1£, but totally worth it. Waiting the sunset there will give you the chance to take some very amazing pics.

It's not very often I get the chance to walk around the bridge but it's really enjoyable every time I do.
The engineering is impressive the views are amazing.
You really get to experience how big this bridge is when walking across.
The walkways are not very wide so if in a group could make it difficult to pass by if stopped on the bridge.
There is a visitor center a short walk from the bridge.
I really enjoyed visiting the bridge and hope to visit again soon.

Clifton Suspension Bridge is the most popular place in Bristol and the seventh most popular place for photos in the whole of the United Kingdom. The most popular photo spot is the base of the western tower on the Clifton side of the bridge. Make sure you get your photograph in front of the best view, whether that’s at sunrise or sunset. You can also visit the Giant Cave where you can get a spectacular view.

Absolutely beautiful suspension bridge. We definitely recommend you have a look if you’re in Bristol.

The bridge is easy accessible, we went via a bus which took about 20 minutes from the city centre. You can also drive (I did see some parking), and the bridge is next to a lovely park so you can walk around if you’re in the area.

Of course this area gets busy when it’s tourist season but it’s such an amazing view, I would definitely recommend you stopping by.

Best time to go would be just before sunset, because then you can see the bridge during the day and then watch as it turns its lights on at night.

There’s also a good selection of bars and pubs within a 10 minute walk, so you can make an evening of it.

A beautiful place to visit.. go in evening time the view will be beautiful.

Take a walk in the bridge on both sides and enjoy the views..

* 1 pound toll free for cars. You can pay via cc or dc
* Street Parking slots available near that bridges
* Lot of benches to sit and relax
* I don't see any light settings on normal days

If you visit Bristol you have to go to the Clifton Bridge. We visited early in the morning and found some parking spots near the bridge. You can get 30 minutes free parking, which is barely enough if you cross on foot and take your time to admire the view. Some really nice cafes very close.

Amazing views! A must visit if ever in Bristol, you can spend hours taking in the beautiful scenery. Many details around you. With the observatory close by, and a tunnel leading to suspended balcony in the middle of the cliff.
The bridge itself is more than a 100 years old. With daily walking tours.
You can put your camera down, many details you can find around you while crossing and beautiful scenery.
It takes around 5 minutes going from one side to the other.
Unfortunately the Avon gorge below was nearly dry when we visited August 2022 because of the heatwave, but still the views were beautiful.
The Clifton area close by with the Mall gardens and many authentic restaurants. A nice place to send part of your day and end with having a meal in on of those restaurants.
Note: the bridge has a £1 pound toll if crossing in a car.

Great views! Free to walk either way and just £1 to drive over. The paths are quite narrow so it helps if people pay attention to the one-way signs. Free parking nearby as well. Very close to the Clifton Observatory and cave.
Perfect for geologists/rock enthusiasts because you can see some brilliant examples of limestone beds! If you get close enough to the rocks further west by the main road going beneath the bridge then you might be able to see some little fossils too!
