It's almost 250ft above the Avon and when it sways you tend to realise what a big huge drop it is below!
It does look striking when it's lit, which is usually for special occasions and suchlike. No doubt it will be illuminated for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this year.

Re: Travel Friday
Mags, that's a beautiful bridge, but you wouldn't get me on it for love nor money.Another native Dubliner Marian, and I thought we were extinct
, I think I remember Pixie saying she was born here too.Look at the size of the egg herself boiled for me tea, it's a hens egg and it weighs 110 grams, I'd say the old hen was sore after that
. I'm afraid I don't trust freaky eggs so I passed and had a cheese sandwich instead, she didn't mind, she says she'll eat it herself, good luck to her.
