However there are also plenty of opportunities for cross-curricula and non-curriculum work in science, design and technology, mathematics, geography, ICT, art etc. We are limited only by the imagination! If you are a GROUP leader or organiser why not make a visit to the Bridge more interesting? There is more to admire than just the view, fantastic though that is. Tours are in English but we are well practised in welcoming visitors of all ages from all over the world for whom English is not their first language. Please allow one hour for your tour from arrival to departure. Prices are £2.50 per person with a minimum charge per group of £60.00. There is no charge for adults accompanying bona fide school groups with pupils aged 16 years and under. FREE GUIDED TOURS are provided for the public on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from Easter Sunday to the end of October. Meet/start at 3.00pm at the toll booth at the Clifton end of the Bridge. Please note these tours are intended for individuals and family groups; they are not suitable for coach tours or large organised groups for whom separate arrangements apply. Use our contact us page (Mike Rowland, Visitor Services) to enquire further. *** "All of the children in my class loved your tour ..." Liam, Weston-super-Mare "On behalf of the staff and children ...
