Pulteney Bridge stands as one of only four bridges worldwide with shops built across its full span on both sides, designed by Robert Adam in the Palladian style and completed in 1774.
UNESCO World Heritage Setting
The bridge connects Bath's historic city center with Bathwick, set against the backdrop of honey-colored Georgian stone buildings that earned the city UNESCO World Heritage status in 1987.

The River Avon flows beneath the bridge's three arches, with a weir creating distinctive white water rapids visible along the riverbank where autumn trees display seasonal color.
