Five Arches

Reviewed By JillS916 - Sidcup, United Kingdom

There are many entrances to this beautiful place and is very popular with dog walkers. There are car parks at the Rectory Lane entrance and Kimberly Drive entrance It was a place my parents took me to when I was young to catch sticklebacks and where I took my children. As with every place like this you must always be aware of others around you and be considerate to other people.

For 10 quid you get a lot for your money. Super interesting museum and an opportunity to see a different side of Tower Bridge. It’s been done really well and whilst the glass floor is an interesting (and vertiginous) experience its really a side show to learning about the history and complexity of this iconic landmark. Be sure to watch the film in the engine room; fascinating.

Pulteney Bridge

One of only three bridges in the world lined with shops, this exquisite 18th-century bridge is one of the most admired structures in Bath.

Reviewed By philipt582

For those who are familiar with the film Les Miserables in which Javert, played by Russell Crowe, jumped to his death, will be delighted to discover that the bridge of Javert's demise is actually located in Bath . It is, I suggest, best approached via the toe path along the river. As you round the bend the bridge springs into view. If you continue to the bridge, you can ascend the stairs and emerge on the bridge to discover a wide range of interesting shops and cafes. Well worth exploring, without the need to visit Paris.

Clifton Suspension Bridge

Designed and built in 1836 by a young engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, this 702-foot-long, 250-foot-high suspension bridge gracefully spans the Avon Gorge between Clifton and Leigh Woods.

The Swilcan Bridge

The famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole of the Old Course at the Home of Golf. The bridge was originally built over 700 years ago so shepherds could move their flock across the Swilcan Burn which meanders through what is now the 1st and 18th fairways. Today the Swilcan Bridge, with the 'Auld Grey Toun' providing the most beautiful of backdrops, is one of the most iconic settings in golf. So much more than a little stone crossing, the Swilcan Bridge is the history of the game, it's the magic moments, it's felt the footsteps of the true greats.

A must visit and photo opportunity for golf lovers. Sunday is the only day to visit and take pictures at this golf history site unless you are lucky enough to plat the Old Course!
