The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, connecting Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset. Since its opening in 1864, it has been a toll bridge, and the revenue is used to fund its maintenance. The bridge was designed by William Henry Barlow and John Hawkshaw, based on an earlier design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It is also a Grade I listed building and forms part of the B3129 road.

The idea of building a bridge across the Avon Gorge began in 1753. Initial plans called for a stone bridge, with later versions contemplating a wrought-iron structure. An attempt to construct Brunel's design in 1831 was halted by the Bristol Riots, and a revised design was finally completed in 1864, after his death. Although the bridge is similar in size and design, the Clifton tower features side cut-outs, while the Leigh tower has a more pointed arch over an abutment clad in red sandstone, standing 110 feet (34 meters) tall. "Saddles" mounted on rollers atop each tower allow for the movement of the three independent wrought-iron chains on each side as traffic passes over the bridge. The bridge deck is suspended by 81 pairs of matching vertical wrought-iron rods.

The Clifton Bridge Company initially managed the bridge under a charitable trust's license. The trust later purchased the company's shares, which was completed in 1949, and took over the operation of the bridge, using the tolls for maintenance. The bridge is used as an icon of Bristol and is a characteristic landmark seen on postcards, promotional materials, and informational websites. It has also been used as the backdrop for several films, television advertisements, and programs. Furthermore, it has served as the venue for significant cultural events, including the first modern bungee jump in 1979, the final Concorde flight (which flew over the bridge) in 2003, and the handover of the Olympic Torch Relay in 2012.
