Overview

Clifton Suspension Bridge Visitor Centre is the interpretation center located at the Leigh Woods end of the bridge. It houses all information about the past and present of the bridge and the maintenance of it as well. There's a superb scale model, a large selection of photographic archives, showing the stages of construction of this great engineering project until it opened in 1864, plus memorabilia from the time. You can also learn about its current maintenance, how it's illuminated and how it has been adapted for modern commuter traffic. There is also a shop selling souvenirs, books, postcards and prints.
