River Avon

River Avon

Introduction The world-famous Pulteney Bridge spans the River Avon, surrounded by an elegant environment with numerous 18th-century Georgian buildings scattered on both sides of the bridge. Standing at the bridgehead and gazing at the scenery along the River Avon, you might feel as if you are in the water city of Venice.

Built between 1769 and 1774 by the renowned architect Robert Adam, the Pulteney Bridge has become a must-visit destination for travelers to Bath. In the summer, visitors can take a boat cruise along the River Avon. Walking along the Great Pulteney Street from the Pulteney Bridge, you can admire the continuous rolling hills and river valleys, dotted with red-tiled cottages — a scene reminiscent of the pastoral English countryside described in literature, evoking a sense of tranquil longing.
