Review & FAQ:
The Avon Gorge is a massive, one-and-a-half-mile long gorge that runs along the shimmering River Avon in Bristol, England. This large gorge runs from north to south, cutting through an impressive limestone ridge approximately one-and-a-half-miles west of Bristol’s city center. The gorge was slowly formed during the previous ice age. River Avon’s original route was blocked by enormous glaciers, forcing the river to create a new path through the very soft Carboniferous Limestone. The beautiful Clifton Suspension Bridge stretches across the gorge, offering visitors a unique vantage point for taking a few breathtaking photos. People are often seen hiking around the gorge and near the River Avon.
