Clifton Suspension Bridge is a special part of Bristol’s heritage.
Description
A visit to Bristol isn’t complete without a trip across the multi-award-winning Clifton Suspension Bridge. As well as being a sightseeing must-see, the iconic bridge has a free Visitor Centre where tourists, families, and locals alike can learn when, how, and why Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s first bridge was built.
Clifton Suspension Bridge offers a curriculum-based STEM education programme suitable for all, from primary and secondary school to college and university students and lifelong learners. This iconic and historical structure is a feat of Victorian engineering set in the dramatic surroundings of the Avon Gorge, making it an inspiring day of learning outside the classroom.
Take a tour with an expert volunteer guide. Knowledgeable and experienced guides can also lead workshops and hands-on activities for anyone learning about Brunel, history, and engineering, bringing history to life for students and groups.
