A splendid time spend at surrounding building. One of the four bridges in the world with shops on both sides. Well preserved architectural with added greenery scenery. Incorporated a man-made cascade water flow generate water fall sound to add excitement feel on usually calm river. A great place for family to spend time together. However the cafe cum plant nursery occupied substantial walking path on the bridge that endanger life, when vehicle approached. Should prohibit from having multiple pots along walking path.

An amazing view. I was here a couple of decades ago and this bridge and view of the weir is one of the main things that sticks in my head! I've seen it from the river, from the garden, from the road and bridge itself. It's just beautiful all around. Make sure to come check it out!

This one of the highlights of our Bath trip. It'a definitely a must-see. It boasts a horse-shaped weir over the River Avon. It's history is as beautiful as it looks like. For someone who loves to read about the history and embraces new cultures when visiting new places, it was really satisfyung just looking how the river flows through the weir with birds walking around the top part of the dam. I hope they continue to preserve this place for future generations to see.

Lovely bridge shame, its backside hasn't been wiped, so to speak. A little tidying up wouldn't go a miss or cost a lot.
I was last here about 35 years ago and the type of shops and cafes hasn't changed much.
Being a centre spot attraction should give the owners some pride to be there, but it all seems so tired.
The best place was the Thai Weir alongside the bridge which was an oasis in the Bath desert, perfect place to sit and watch the bridge, the boats and the numerous amount of people passing through the seating area who were oblivious to the fact that you could just have a drink and take in this lovely bridge.

A sight to behold😊 it was so so beautiful and fascinating for me 😍

Myself and my girlfriend went on a sight seeing trip to bath, would recommend this trip for anyone. Bath is a very beautiful city, lots of amazing views.

It was very easy to navigate places/locations. Every view was worth it. 😍😍

A very popular and well-visited place that is loved by absolutely everyone. The bridge offers stunning views of the river and historic buildings, all topped off by the mesmerizing high-frequency energy of the energetic flow and roar of the water cascades.

The bridge itself is nice to see. The people and the attractions around the bridge and in or around the river turns the bridge into a live centre. They have boat tours, punting, cafes, and a God-knows-why-they-are-charging-a-£1-entrance-fee park. Honestly you can't help but feel alive and vibrant there. We took approximately a hour long boat trip. I'm so happy that I chose to pay money for the boat trip rather than paying 25 quid for seeing Roman baths. The boat tour was fun although the seats were a bit uncomfortable, and it was £11.

A very picturesque piece of architecture that is best appreciated from the riverside below.

The bridge itself is a road with shops either side, but the beauty of this location isn’t best represented here… Either take a walk down the steps by the Thai Cafe or take a walk along the main road, past the bus stops to access the riverside.

If you find yourself by the riverboat tour, I’d strongly recommend 👌🏻
