Our first stop was at the impressive Clifton Suspension Bridge which spans the Avon gorge. Brunel’s bridge is a Grade 1 listed structure that first opened in 1864. We were lucky to take a trip down into the vaults under the tower of the Clifton Suspension bridge on the Leigh Woods side.

Amazingly, as there was no entrance to the vaults it was assumed they were solid and it wasn’t until 2002 when replacing paving a very small entrance was discovered into the chambers.

After Bristol, it was on to Bath and a look around the Jane Austen Centre, you can even dress up in Regency costumes if you want to.
We actually have stayed in a house in Bath where Jane Austen used to live: • A Stay At Jane Austen'...
In the afternoon it was time for a cream tea at the Roseate Villa before more beer and food at The Bath Brew House.

What a great experience going down the vaults in Bristol. Just love that afternoon tea in Bath. What a fun journey from Bristol to London. Continue to have blast.
it was great to see inside the vaults. That afternoon was so nice..,
This 19th-century bridge is really a sight to see!
Not bad for a 150 years old.
Awsome, I like the tour of the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
They didn't rediscover those vaults until 2002. They were forgotten about for over 150 years.
@@flydriveexplore - It is amazing that nobody realized that there were vaults for that long.
Wow this is really cool. That is a different experience. Yes, glad you had on the hardhat.
The tour guide really seemed to know her stuff! And wow, it looks crazy underneath! Good thing they make you wear hardhats lol.
The guide's background was 'industrial archaeology' so perfect for the buildings and bridges of the Industrial Revolution.
What a great experience. We work in bath a couple of days a week. Let us know if you are over that way again and we can meet up. I still want to get to see the bridge, will defo look at heading inside.
We love Bath, will definitely contact you when we are there again. Those vaults are incredible under the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Why am I not surprised that you are doing the route in reverse. This is a very cool bridge. It’s almost like your in a cave.
We had to start somewhere, sp why not the end. Those vaults were like across between a cathedral and a cave.
i ve been in there
Thanks. I hope you’re coming to Calne as well, you’re welcome to visit us at Heritage Luxury B&B, we’re right on the A4, and are GWW Ambassadors 😃
The route is very interesting and in our short trip we discovered some beautiful towns, villages and historic sites. We are thinking of going back in Spring when it warms up a bit, we had to cut our trip short because of the snow.
That sounds good, let us know in advance and we’ll offer you a complimentary cream tea 😃
@@gillianfarago4496 Who doesn't like a good cream tea, thanks.
This is amazing you went inside the bridge :) how was the vegan burger?
It needed some ketchup! - The burger that is, not the bridge!
Lovely bridge. What is the vault meant for?
The vaults are just part of the construction but they didn't know they were there for over 150 years. They were re-discovered by accident in 2002.
It looks so amazing down there!! That's interesting that you got a vegan burger when you're not even vegan. Any particular reason why? I'm guessing more healthy?? Looked great!!
Yes, the vaults were amazing. I'm not a big fan of red meat and this year, vegetarian burgers have all now been transformed into vegan burgers.
Why were the vaults necessary?
They were the foundations to the towers. No one new they were vaults and thought they were solid as they didn't really understand Brunel's engineering.
