Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Mickey67BundyBundaberg, Australia94 contributionsWe started to explore around Launceston and came across the walk to the Gorge. Every step of the way was an adventure until we saw the bridge. Well with the casual walk from and to the city.Written 8 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,537 contributionsOur cruise boat captain gave us the impression that he was an admirer of the bridge, certainly spend some time relating the history. Its located at the entrance to Cataract Gorge, close to where the South Esk River joins the Tamar River. Constructed of wrought iron, the bridge span fabricated in Manchester and shipped to Launceston for assembly, it opened in February 1864, the additional span added in 1904 but fabricated locally. With the Paterson Bridge nearby, its interesting to compare, or contrast, the structural design of each.Written 12 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,537 contributionsWhen we cruised under this bridge, it was just another concrete bridge built to facilitate improved traffic movement. Located near King’s Bridge, it doesn’t have the history of that steel arch and our cruise captain referred to it as ‘the second bridge’ built here. A couple of days later I crossed the bridge on route to Exeter and formed a somewhat different viewpoint. Functional surely, but I reckoned that the engineers had designed the bridge to harmonise with the surrounds. A nice sweeping line as we headed along the Tamar, across the Esk and around the headland. It opened in 1972.Written 13 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
