Iconic Landmarks

Bristol’s most iconic landmark. Designed by the famous Isambard Kingdom Brunel, The Suspension Bridge is hailed as an innovative landmark by engineers worldwide. Walking across the bridge you can expect some of the most spectacular views of the city.

The Clifton Observatory and Caves, above Avon Gorge, showcases Bristol's iconic Suspension Bridge. Housing a rare camera obscura, it offers access to ‘Giant's Cave’ along with cafe and bar experiences with panoramic views.

Perhaps the most affluent street in the city, Royal York Crescent boasts views across the harbour and much of South Bristol. Built between 1791 and 1820, it is the longest terrace in Europe.

Located in the heart of Clifton Village, this charming Victorian shopping arcade is home to a vibrant community of small, independent shops. Clifton Arcade offers something for everyone, surrounded by cozy cafés, the area provides a laid-back atmosphere with freshly prepared food served throughout the day.

Clifton’s historic railway opened in 1893, connecting Clifton to Hotwells and the Bristol Harbour. During WWII, the lower station served as an air raid and BBC broadcast base.

Located in the burial grounds of St Andrews Church, one of Clifton’s casualties during the blitz, Birdcage Walk is adorned by peached lime trees that change with the seasons and is increasingly known as one of Clifton’s most ‘instagramable’ landmarks.
