Transfer from Luton Airport to Bristol
One of the most beautiful constructions in Bristol is the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the symbol of the town, and one of the first places you must visit when you get in the town. It stretches over the famous river Avon and it is famous because it was favorite suicidal place of many, generally because of his height. This makes it seem “attractive” for visitors, and residents of Bristol are somehow also proud its “history”. The first thing you’ll learn about The Clifton Suspension Bridge is that this is the “suicide bridge”.
You will see plates on the bridge in this purpose where the number of “The Samaritans” Association is written, for those who go there with negative thoughts, in the hope that they can be saved at the last minute. Between 1974 and 1993, 127 people committed suicide by throwing themselves off the bridge, so that in 1998 a couple of barriers were installed there to prevent further leaps into the void. In the four years following the installation barrier suicide rate decreased from 8 deaths per year in April to half. A strange case of failed suicide is of a woman of 22 years named Sarah Ann Henley, who jumped from the bridge in 1885 but survived because her skirt who played the role of a parachute. She came, ironically, to live to 80 years.
The bridge was built in 1754 at the posthumous desire of a wine merchant who’s dieing wish was that a bridge would be built over the River Avon to join Leigh Woods from the Clifton area of Bristol. Work began in 1831 but the bridge was finished only in 1864. Designed for light traffic in the 19th century, the horse-drawn carts, the bridge still meets the requirements of modern traffic, about 11,000 to 12,000 vehicles crossing it every day, averaging about 4 million vehicles per year.
Mainly because of its two colleges, Bristol also has a vibrant nightlife with plenty of action inside its pubs and bars, the music scene being dominated by hip-hop tempos from the 80′s and 90′s.
