Clifton Suspension Bridge Underground Vaults Visit

You already know the Clifton Suspension Bridge, have walked across it, or maybe even taken a tour – 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 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!
