Known as the ‘Ornament of Bristol’ and the 'Wonder of Age’. This was how Sir Abraham Elton described Brunel’s bridge at the foundation ceremony in 1831. The bridge spans the Avon Gorge, connecting Clifton with the south side of the River Avon.
The gorge is a spectacular, steep-sided limestone valley, rich in rare trees and flowers.
