Booking essential via our events page
You can find out about Brunel’s engineering genius, and compare it with the creation of the modern Tamar Bridge. As well as bridge building activities we offer guided tours of the bridges. We also have a lovely picnic area overlooking the river. We offer schools workshops, and welcome families to come and enjoy our interactive displays.
We recommend spending a couple of hours here to look around the exhibition and join a guided tour. If you have longer the Bridge is ideally situated to explore the town of Saltash which has many independent shops and cafes. Although there is currently no dedicated shop or café at the Learning Centre we are working on a guidebook and postcards for visitors to purchase in the future.
