How do I get to the Bridge (Leigh Woods side BS8 3PA) from the SS Great Britain (BS1 6TY) ? and vice versa

From the SS GB car park, come out of Gas Ferry Road and turn right (Cumberland Road). A river channel (the ‘New Cut’) is on your left.
Pass beneath a footbridge and drive up to a set of traffic lights. (Signposted “South West, A38, A37, A370").
Go straight ahead at the traffic lights to a 2nd set of traffic lights.
At the 2nd set of traffic lights turn left onto the dual carriageway (towards A370 Weston super Mare).
Ignore the 1st turning left.
Filter left into a lane with a park on your left. Care needed now !
At the end of the filter lane, filter right onto the road which passes beneath the dual carriageway you have just left. (Signposted A369 Portishead and U.W.E. Bower Ashton).
Follow U.W.E.Bower Ashton/A369 Portishead and take a right hand bend. A wall and a playing field behind it will be on your right.
At the end of the long straight and after the police mounted and dog facility on your right go up the hill (bends and trees).
Take the 1st turning right – up Burwalls Road.
At the crossroads at the top of Burwalls Road find somewhere to park ‘on-street’. Please park legally and with consideration to residents.

Directions to the SS Great Britain from the Clifton Suspension Bridge (Leigh Woods):
Turn left down Burwalls Road. At the bottom of Burwalls Road turn left onto the A369 and continue downhill.
The road levels out and you pass the Police Mounted and Dog Section and a playing field on the left. At the end of the straight road there is a sharp bend left.
At the roundabout keep left, go up the incline and join the A370 back towards the city centre.
Keep straight ahead – ignore the first filter lane to the left. View the Clifton Suspension Bridge down river to the left.
Take the next filter left. The road bends down to the right beneath the A370.
Take the right filter beneath the flyover.
Go up the incline to the traffic lights, and then continue straight ahead. You should see big square redbrick buildings, iron railings, a railway track and a river channel to your right.
Pass beneath an iron footbridge, and look for a stonemason’s yard on the corner to your left.
Turn left into Gas Ferry Road – to the SSGB car park (‘Pay and Display’).
