I love walking along Pulteney Bridge and buying the strawberry and rhubarb cake from the cafe there. It is one of the more beautiful bridges (with shops) that I've seen and I prefer it over the similar ones in Italy. The view of the bridge is especially beautiful near sunset. More

We walked above the bridge, we walked below it, we perused the shops on it. We were disappointed to miss the charity shops - arriving late on Saturday afternoon - but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! More

The bridge in the sunlight with the weir below is magnificent on a good day. Why not stop in the tea room on the bridge for a cooked breakfast for £4.95 including tea? More

At the side you would not say it is a bridge, but when you walk further, it is. A beautiful area, a real must see! More

I may be slightly biased as I met my fiancee here but the views are beautiful and the shops great, the sound of the water rushing under you all contribute to one of my favorite parts of my City. More

It is quite pretty as you are walking to it from the train station. The bridge itself is just a walkway with stores. You have to walk over it to go to certain parts of town and since the town is so small you may as well walk over it as it is the only one outside of Italy! More
