Underground Vaults Visit

This is a partially guided tour of the Clifton Suspension Bridge’s Underground Vaults. You can explore the chambers at your own pace.

You already know the Clifton Suspension Bridge, but you’ve never seen it like this!

Did you know the Leigh Woods tower is built on top of 12 massive vaults? Put on your hard hat, climb down the ladder, and use our illustrated map to explore two of these unique, cavernous chambers.

This exciting trip is your chance to experience the Clifton Suspension Bridge like never before! Delve into the vaults with one of our White Badge Certified Learning Facilitators and see the bridge in a brand new way!

On this must-do adventure, you’ll be one of the lucky few to discover exactly what the bridge looks like from the inside. There will be plenty of time to take photographs and ask questions. Don’t miss the chance to tick our Underground Vaults Visit off your bucket list!

Adults 18+ £10
