Special occasion: Christmas.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge spanning the Avon Gorge, its stone towers and chains edged in snow above the gorge's frosted woods, seen from the snowy slope on the Clifton side.
A winter drawing of Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol, made from a real photograph of the real place with a light fall of snow added for the season. The artwork is an AI interpretation, not a documentary photograph; details can differ from the original.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge crosses the River Avon and its gorge, joining Clifton in Bristol with Leigh Woods on the North Somerset side. The idea of a bridge here dates from 1753. Work on Isambard Kingdom Brunel's design began, but was stopped by the 1831 Bristol riots; a revised version of his plans, by Barlow and Hawkshaw, was built after his death and opened in 1864. It has charged a toll ever since, and the money pays for its upkeep. The two towers differ: Clifton's has side cut-outs, while Leigh's has more pointed arches. The deck hangs from 162 wrought-iron rods. In 1979 it saw the first modern bungee jump. It is Grade I listed.
