Tours for Schools

We offer a wide variety of tours tailored to school groups of all ages, from Early Years to A-Level. Led by our White Badge qualified Learning Facilitators, tours explain the history, construction and maintenance of the bridge and share the stories of those connected to it in the past.

Our popular tours for schools are available for all ages, abilities and interest levels. Tours are available between 9.30am and 5pm on weekdays but to avoid disappointment, we advise that you book your visit well in advance.
