# Clifton Observatory

> Bristol Tourist Attraction & Events Venue Visit Clifton Observatory; The Bristol tourist attraction features a Camera Obscura and Cave and sits above the Avon Gorge offering superb views of Bristol

The Clifton Observatory stands at the hill simply by the wonderful Clifton Suspension Bridge, a fabulous backdrop for a household photo that is epic. The Camera Obscura is quite cunning but merely reflects the view of everything you see outside in real time, that will be amazing thing for young ones to see but should certainly be a fantastic thing for all of us too: no green screens right here, buddies in the building there was a Camera Obscura inside the tower, among the final completely original functional models in Britain! You don't just see an image you really begin to see the people currently perambulating and life exterior, so allow enough time for the kids in move to get outside and wave at the rest of those!Also in the building there clearly was an feature that is underground called the Giant's Cave. The town therefore the river Avon at the very base of which there is a well-placed watching platform providing stunning views of this bridge! You merely will not get views better than this, today, wherever you get! The cave is a whopping 100 feet underground and you will find a reasonably epic 136 steps resulting in it, therefore please do plan it carefully if you tiny or legs which can be senior consider! Having said that but, really small legs aren't allowed anyway while you should be over 4 years old to explore the caves, for security reasons.For your interest and to point out to your children once you're down there, the tunnel resulting in the Giant's Cave, that is 61m long, took a couple of years to create at a staggering price of £1300 and initially launched to the straight back that is general public 1837!
