Bristol Attractions and Entertainment
The main attraction is the Clifton Suspension Bridge, built between 1836 and 1964 by Isambard Brunel across the deep Avon Gorge. The bridge offers magnificent views of Bristol’s surroundings, but it has a notorious reputation, popularly known as the “Suicide Bridge.” Near the Clifton Observatory is a curved mirror, the so-called “camera obscura,” which displays a panoramic view of the observatory’s surroundings. Near the bridge are the Bristol Caves, the most famous of which is the Giant’s Cavern, accessible via a tunnel from the Clifton Observatory.

Other attractions include the steam passenger liner and museum, the SS Great Britain, built by Brunel himself in 1843. Blaise Castle, an 18th-century manor house, was described as “the finest place in England” in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey.

Castle Park was a hub of bustling streets and shops until it was bombed during World War II. The ruins of St. Peter’s Church and Bristol Castle serve as memorials to those tragic events.
