Clifton Observatory
The Clifton Observatory stands at the hill just by the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Inside the building there is a Camera Obscura in the tower. The Camera Obscura reflects the view of what you see outside. You don't just see an image you see people walking around and life outside. Also in the building there is a cave called the Giant's Cave. At the bottom there is a viewing platform and there are stunning views of the bridge, the city and the river Avon. The cave is 100 feet underground and there are 136 step leading to it.
