The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a landmark of beautiful engineering that stands proudly at the edge of Bristol. It’s stood for over 150 years and, if anything is, it is the iconic symbol of Bristol. But have you ever wondered what lies underneath the bridge? Well, now's your chance to find out.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust have announced that tickets for this year’s round of Underground Vault Tours are going on sale this week. The tours offer a unique opportunity to discover the secrets hidden beneath the bridge, and tickets for the first round of tours go on sale this Wednesday!
The Suspension Bridge was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, one of the most famous engineers of the 19th century, and was completed in 1864. The bridge was built to connect Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in Somerset, and it was considered a mighty feat of engineering at the time. The bridge spans the Avon Gorge and is a thousand feet long – it really is magnificent to behold.
