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 self-guide map to explore two of these unique, cavernous underground 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 from a brand new perspective.
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 of your bucket list!

We went for the 1 hour tour with our 3 boys and they loved it! A very interesting and unique place to visit and feel lucky that we live so close by to this amazing construction. The tour guide gave us lots of great facts and plenty of chance to ask questions. We would definitely recommend to others.

Fabulous experience! As a born & bred Bristolian, I've spent my life in awe of our wonderful city. And after this visit, I realised there is still so much more to learn! My son Liam (at 12) is the right age to visit. I've shared a post on social media which has generated lots of interest! I've recommended it it to all of them! Have a good break from the tours and enjoy your reopening next April!
