One of the most beautiful spots in Bath. Pulteney Bridge is stunning, with its historic architecture and views over the River Avon. The flowing water, old stone buildings, and nearby cafes create a very calm and picturesque atmosphere. Perfect for photos, a relaxed walk, or just standing and taking in the charm of the city. A must-see landmark when visiting Bath.

Pulteney Bridge is an absolute gem in the heart of Bath. The architecture is stunning, and it’s one of the few bridges in the world with shops running along both sides – truly a sight to behold. Walking across the bridge offers lovely views of the River Avon, and the surrounding streets are full of charm, cafés, and boutique shops. It’s a perfect spot for photography and soaking up the historic atmosphere of the city. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Bath!

Pulteney Bridge is Bath's main landmark. Bath is a spa town - baths were established here back in the Roman era, as the city sits in the crater of a dormant volcano (well, perhaps not entirely dormant, it seems).
Yet when it comes to Bath's most photographed sights, the bridge confidently rivals the baths.
The bridge was built in the 18th century and was originally conceived as a shopping bridge - shops line both sides of it.
The design took inspiration from Florence's Ponte Vecchio, where you can both cross the river and buy souvenirs.
Pulteney Bridge has been built, rebuilt, and expanded with additional shops; it later suffered damage from a flood… and now stands in the city centre, drawing everyone's attention.
It is worth taking a look at the water rapids - they’re another one of Bath's «calling cards».
If you visit the city, you won't miss the bridge. Next to it is the upscale‑looking Empire Hotel (currently under renovation and half‑covered with scaffolding), and a little further away stands Bath Cathedral - or rather, not just a cathedral but an abbey, a large beautiful Gothic building.

Beautiful walk and the views are stunning! There are some boats parked along the canal too. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in the summer. There are benches so you can sit opposite the river!

Beautiful place. There is really nice cafe on the bridge where can you have a coffee and a delicious cake and enjoy the view to the river. Park around is great for a walk, so you can see the bridge from different angles.

Lovely bridge and architecture. There's also a lovely garden situated next to bridge costing £2 for entry. You could spend some time relaxing here just people watching etc. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

The river has a unique atmosphere every moment of the year, you can spend your time there beautifully as you will see in the photos and canoes.
There is parking nearby.

I really like this bridge I like the design and having the shops on both sides across the bridge If you didn't know you wouldn't know you was crossing a bridge.
I like how you go in a shop and when you look out the window you see the river passing right below and during the summer the tour boats passing below.
A really nice place to visit when visiting bath.
