Description
TRANSPORT: CLIFTON ROCKS AND BRISTOL SUSPENSION BRIDGE TOUR
We are pleased to announce a fantastic opportunity to either see
the Clifton Rocks railway or a tour of Bristol suspension bridge.
The
Clifton Rocks Railway was a major engineering achievement in the 1890s and
operated for 40 years, transporting people from Hotwells Road to Clifton in
passenger cars running in a tunnel in the Avon gorge on steeply inclined
tracks.
The tour will be an extended tour down in to the
tunnels. The railway encompasses such a huge amount of Bristol’s and general
engineering history. This tour is not one to be missed!
The
Clifton Suspension Bridge is World famous and one of the essential things to
see in the West Country. The bridge is a beautiful piece of engineering
lovingly maintained by the Trustees and in better condition now than it was
when built!
Following the tour, we will be meeting in the Avon Gorge hotel for
drinks with a chance to get to chat to other local Young Members.
Please note that this event is now Fully Booked.
