Interesting to see but not the prettiest bridge in the world lol. A place of interest none the less.

Its not a place i'd set out to go and see but if you are near or passing by, have a walk across, it has lovely views of bristol (outskirts etc), and when snowy looks gorgeous!
Meant to go and see this the last time we were in Bristol. Fantastic bridge - it's like it's been made from giant bits of mechano! If you're driving to it, try and park somewhere a little way before it (if travelling out of Bristol) as there is nowhere to park immediately before it and you'll end up having to...

Well worth the trek up the hill from from the Uni. A small Museum on the other side is free, as is the park were you get the scale of what Brunel created here - truly staggering, plus it doesn't really go anywhere!
if the weather is nice a 1/2 hour stroll along the bridge on one side and back on the other, is well worth it, different views from both sides and take in and amazing piece of engineering from when Brunel was a lad of 24!
it makes you proud to be British you can just imagine coming back in 500...

Worth a quick drive over - only 50p toll - to feel the history and see the view! A visit to Clifton Village can be combined with this - lots of bars, individual boutique style shops and an antiques arcade.
The view, height and feat of Victorian ingenuity and engineering. Still as good as it was when built in the 1860's
looking from the gorge at night it has to be said this is one of the best experiences ever, i promise to anybody they should go and see it.
