Vistit the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol

The Clifton suspension bridge is a must see attraction for any visit to Bristol. The bridge, which is one of the most famous landmarks in the UK (incidentally it is this bridge that is featured on Serviced City Pads Bristol homepage), spans the stunning Avon gorge and is the main symbol of Bristol. The hisory of the Clifton Suspension Bridge spans back to the mid 18th Century, and was Isambard Kingdon Brunel’s first major commission, but unfortunately he never got to see his completed vision which was finished in 1864 (Brunel died in 1859). The bridge cost £100,000 to build and is mainly made up of wrought iron and Bristol Pennant stone.
