Why Pulteney Bridge matters
Few bridges in the world are lined with shops along both sides, and Pulteney Bridge is one of them. It crosses the River Avon in an elegant Georgian arch, and the view from the weir downstream is the one that appears in postcards. Stroll across and browse the small boutiques on the way.
Talking points
- Shops sit along the bridge itself.
- Designed by Robert Adam.
- The weir adds to the view.
