What our visitors say

Due to the current situation, we had this wonderful piece of engineering history to ourselves. The staff are very well informed and take the time to tell you about the Bridge and its history. We felt extremely safe and you are missing a treat if you don’t go now.

July 2020

Due to Covid-19, it was really quiet and we were one of only 4 families looking around. The staff were so friendly and told us so many extra facts about the Bridge. It was fascinating. The kids absolutely loved lying on the glass [floor] and waving to the tourist buses below!

August 2020

The staff were all friendly, as Covid is here at the moment, all were following the guidelines. Highly recommend!
