Bristol Bridge

Why go

Bristol Bridge marks a crossing that long connected the city's commercial streets. The present stone bridge dates from the eighteenth century, replacing an older bridge once lined with premises. Its central arch and two side arches are best appreciated from a position with a clear view along the water.

What to look for

• A larger central arch is flanked by two smaller arches.
• The crossing sits over the Floating Harbour in the city centre.
• The bridge joins streets once central to Bristol's trade.

Useful to know

• Allow only a short stop while walking the harbour or Corn Street area.
• Use a safe public vantage point to see the arches rather than stopping in traffic.
• Check current pedestrian routes if road works affect the crossing.
