The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a magnificent suspension bridge that spans the River Avon and Avon Gorge, linking the English village of Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods within North Somerset. Since the opening of the bridge in 1864, it has been used as a toll bridge; income generated from the bridge goes into a fund that is used for its maintenance and repairs. There’s a new Visitor Information Centre that is located on the Leigh Woods side of the bridge. Visitors can watch informative DVD’s about the bridge, explore objects the bridge’s maintenance staff have collected, and peruse the souvenir shop. Visitors will appreciate the free admission, as well as the complimentary tours.
