Clifton Suspension Bridge - Bristol, UK

This suspension bridge is built across the Avon Gorge, linking Clifton (Bristol) and Leigh Woods (North Somerset). This suspension bridge is built and opened in 1864. The bridge deck is suspended by 162 vertical wrought-iron rods in 81 matching pairs. It has been a venue for some significant events (e.g. handover venue of the Olympic Torch relay in 2012.) To get here, take No 8 circular bus from Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station and alight at Clifton Village. There’s a visitor centre located at the Leigh Woods side of the bridge. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #england #bristol #bridge #darwintravel

A lovely weekend destination

I enjoyed a nice weekend staying in bristol's old city. While there were no raving feedbacks from people who had previously considered bristol for weekends. I thought my time was well spent and the city worked for me. Especially from the perspective of a weekend getaway. It allowed for a decent mix of different things. Iw as put up in the old city because iIstick with older parts of town and I'm into heritage. But otherwise too it think in case of Bristol the best backpacker options are here. So depending on your budget you may pick a place. There is stoke croft which has very good and decently priced backpacker options too. Other than that you have southville and Clifton too. Places that i visited during the weekend break and were nice. As for things to too, I would highly recommend a walking tour. It was a great way to get to know so much about a place and get insights from a local guide. Also, the Bansy trail that is part of some walking tours is super fun. There's a good mix of heritage, churches, harbor and landmarks like the cliffton suspension bridge to explore. It would allow come down to what sort of traveller you are what preferences. But Bristol's definitely worth trying. #uktrip#localguides #familytrip #summerdestinations #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #100waysoftravel #trip #myhiddengems

Brilliant views

While the cliffton suspension bridge is an engineering marvel, the views from the bridge and the views of the bridge from a distance were the highlight for me. You see we climbed all the way from the riverside. That was bit of a hike and may not be for everyone given its upwards. But spectacular views all along the way. Once you're at the bridge, there is parking nearby. There is a seperate path for pedestrians and I think I saw a washroom too near the visitor centre on the Somerset side. All in all it made for a nice activity and its's beautiful. #uktrip#bristol #localguides #summerdestinations #100waysoftravel
