Bristol from the Bridge geology walk - wheelchair accessible

On this journey, we will travel through Bristol’s geological past and connect the rocks beneath our feet and in the building around to the history of Bristol. Starting at the Clifton Suspension Bridge, we take in fabulous views of the Avon Gorge and the Bridge and learn about the geological foundations of the city. Spotting fossils along the way, we will end at Clifton Observatory with a spectacular view over the city.

This is an accessible version of the walk for people with reduced mobility. There is also a longer two-hour Bristol from the Bridge tour which also takes in the Harbourside and Clifton.

Start and Finish: Clifton Suspension Bridge

Walking distance: 1 km

Duration: 1.5 hours

Accessibility: on pavements, mostly flat with a slight incline up to the Observatory. Suited to people with reduced mobility.
