Classic Bristol Sites:

The influence of days past are all around, from the city's maritime heritage to the marvels of Brunel's Bristol - a legacy of Victorian engineering that changed the face of the city forever.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge, spanning the beautiful Clifton Gorge, is the symbol of the city of Bristol. For almost 150 years, this Grade I listed structure has attracted visitors from all over the world. At the age of 24, this was Brunel's first major commission, and although he died prematurely in 1859, the Bridge was completed as his memorial in 1864.

Technological innovation, inspirational design and some truly revolutionary features form the history of the ss Great Britain, the world's first iron-hulled, steam-powered, ocean going ship. The ship was built in 1843 at the Great Western Dockyard in Bristol, and today you can step back in time on board this attraction that has won 13 major awards.
