Things to do in Pulteney Bridge

5/5 (4)

Arching over the River Avon with top-class views of the weir, Pulteney Bridge is a great place to stroll, shop and sight-see. The bridge stretches from Argyle Street and Bridge Street and is completely lined with quaint shops and cafes – a unique feature of only a handful of bridges in the world. Take your time to see them all. Coffee shops offer sweet treats and refreshments for hungry visitors.

Built in 1774 and designed by Scottish architect Robert Adam, the bridge is a fine example of Georgian architecture – with hints of Palladian architecture mirroring Italian bridges such as the Ponte Vecchio. It’s no surprise Pulteney Bridge is one of the most photographed locations in the city. You might also recognise it from the Oscar-winning musical film Les Misèrables – incredible scenes were shot in Bath.

As you walk over the bridge, you’ll see the mesmerising horseshoe-shaped Pulteney Weir. It was built to prevent the river flooding. You can try paddleboarding, canoeing, and kayaking on the river. You can enjoy the best views of the bridge by walking along the riverside, from Parade Gardens or on Pultney Bridge cruises – the boats glide under the bridge too.

“Simon was AMAZING! Our little one was one of only a few children and the patience of both him and Rad (?) the driver was extraordinary. It was a busy day and our kiddo was completely entertained. Fantastic tour - thank you!!”
