No.5 does look similar to a bridge in Bath but I don't think the one in the pic is wide enough

Mags, as I looked down the list I just knew you would recognise the suspension bridge. I've walked on that a few times as a child, when I lived in Kingswood and crickey doesn't it sway?
I don't have a clue where the other four are.

You get a lovely view of the Avon and the city when on the bridge, don't you...

4. Looks like The Squinty Bridge (Glasgow Arc)?

The first one reminds me of a bridge up at Glencoe!

Bridges



Ashness Bridge

Ashness Bridge is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road (B5289) to Watendlath, in the English Lake District.
Watendlath is arguably the wettest place in England.





The Clifton Suspension Bridge

Is a suspension bridge spanning the Avon Gorge, and linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset, England. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it is a landmark that is used as a symbol of Bristol. It is a grade I listed building




The Erskine Bridge

Is a cable-stayed box girder bridge spanning the River Clyde in west central Scotland, connecting West Dunbartonshire with Renfrewshire.
The bridge was designed by William Brown and opened on 2 July 1971 by HRH Princess Anne.




The Gateshead Millennium Bridge

Is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne in England between Gateshead's Quays arts quarter on the south bank, and the Quayside of Newcastle upon Tyne on the north bank. The award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and structural engineers Gifford.





Hereford Bridge

Hertford Bridge, popularly known as the Bridge of Sighs, is a skyway over New College Lane in Oxford, England.
The bridge is often referred to as the Bridge of Sighs because of its supposed similarity to the famous Bridge of Sighs in Venice. However, Hertford Bridge was never intended to be a replica of the Venetian bridge, and indeed it bears a closer resemblance to the Rialto Bridge in the same city.
