VR Headset Bridge Tours – Explore the Tamar Bridge Like Never Before
Step into the shoes of an engineer and discover the hidden world of the Tamar Bridge with our immersive VR Headset Tours. This exciting experience takes you beyond public areas and into the fascinating spaces that keep this iconic structure standing.
Using state‑of‑the‑art virtual reality headsets, you’ll enjoy a 360° insider’s view of areas normally off limits, including:
🔺 Climbing the Bridge Tower
Feel the height and scale of the Tamar Bridge as you ascend the tower and take in breathtaking virtual views from above the river.
⚙️ Exploring the Anchorage Chamber
Descend deep inside the bridge to see the vast anchorage chamber where enormous cables secure the structure. It’s a rare glimpse into the engineering behind the scenes.
🛠️ Going Beneath the Bridge Deck
Travel under the roadway to experience the maze of steel work and maintenance walkways that support the traffic above.
🚦 Inside a Toll Booth
Step into one of the bridge’s toll booths for a unique perspective of daily operations and the people who keep the crossing moving.
Our VR tours are free, fun, and perfect for anyone curious about engineering, local history, or simply seeing the Tamar Bridge from a whole new angle.
