Clifton Observatory

Roll on the Summer!

Beautiful morning for the launch of the first 5 Gromit Unleashed sculptures at the Observatory this morning. Cant wait for the full trail this July!

Some amazing pics courtesy of Gareth Aldridge, capturing last weeks atmospheric Ardbeg whisky tasting event @this_sw33t_life/

In 1829 William West, a Bristol-based artist, installed a convex lens and sloping mirror into the building’s tower to project panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Join us for the last weekend of the summer holidays & plenty of sunshine!

The observatory has added several new museum illustrations, outlining the true history of this 250 year old building, its links to early photography and the suspension bridge

O is for Observatory 🔭

everyone should try "the cave"... great experience.

We really appreciated your new roof bar on Saturday bight, great idea and thanks for the warm welcome and perfect music.

Stunning view and great area to hang around for an evening.

Spectacular view,looking up the gorge or down,

Never tire of the trip to the bridge,Brunel knew how to

Build,

Lovely place to gaze at the stars as our own little worlds spin around.

Great view point over looking the bridge and city. Nice coffe and music on the roof terrace.

Gorgeous little rooftop cafe with amazing views, can't wait til rest is open too. Thanks for a top experience well be back. �

Camera obscure experience fabulous. Giant cave experience epic.....and leg aching! The bridge is a joy to behold and the visitor centre was so interesting, cleverly laid out, reasonably priced souvenirs and lovely hands on bridge building section upstairs. Would absolutely recommend on a beautiful sunny day.

Briliant. Interesting, informative, and worth the walk.

Breathtaking views. Awesome Camera Obscura. Exciting climb down to the Guant’s Cave. One of the highlights of our trip

Absolutely stunning views. Lovely little cafe, and a very nice latte on the roof top. Lots to do the kids loved it and us adults. Definitely going back again soon. Highly recommend 👌

A bit of history with fantastic views of the valley. Lovely stop on our walk around Bristol.

On the top of the hill surrounding with nature view and The suspention bridge

Lovely view, great cave walk - good excercise! Great family day.

Had a good little adventure with my 4 year old son. You need to be very careful as in places in the giant cave it's very steep and headroom is limited. Overall the views are amazing especially on a sunny day. �

Great views of city and river.

Service was friendly and coffee decent.

Tower was disappointing. £2.50 just to go up a few more steps and look through a 'periscope'. No outside views.

Great view friendly if slow service need a better ice cream freezer

Great place to visit, only downside was the weather!!! Will defiantly visit again on a clearer day.

Fabulous!!!! Been going there since I was a kid then took my own children now take my grandchildren. The new rooftop cafe is excellent!
