Clifton Suspension Bridge

Photoblog: 09 Mar 2007

Galleries: Bristol > Avon Gorge

On the way to the balloon fiesta. Taken from the little bit of land between the river, harbour outflow, and Brunel Way. One of the few times I've actually seen a decent high tide here. I should probably have cropped more off the top?

The suspension bridge is an Isambard Kingdom Brunel design constructed in the 1850s-60s. The 1,352 ft (414 m) span crosses the tidal River Avon 245 ft (75 m) below. The limestone gorge forms a spectacular defensive entrance to the city's docks.
