On 13th June 2017 I was given the opportunity to work at Bristol Airport for a couple of days – to date it’s the furthest I’ve travelled in the Morris in one go without stopping, nearly 150 miles away!
After work on the first day I drove to the nearby seaside down of Clevedon, which is home to England’s only grade 1 listed pier, built in 1869. Sir John Betjeman described the pier as “the most beautiful pier in England”.

On the return from my brief visit to Clevedon I made sure to plot a route to the hotel that would take me over the Clifton suspension bridge, which was a highlight of the trip.
I’ve always wanted to see this iconic structure, and it didn’t disappoint. I parked the car up on the west side before crossing and walked over the bridge, and up to the Clifton Observatory. The observatory provides the perfect view of the bridge and the Avon Gorge which it spans.
After a while taking in the views I went to pay my toll, then returned to the car to cross and find my way back to the airport and hotel.
