Clifton Suspension Bridge postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of art postcards. This postcard has been created from original art by Emily.
Emily Ward’s art postcard offers a joyful and imaginative take on the Clifton Suspension Bridge, one of Bristol’s most iconic landmarks. The bridge’s tall stone towers and sweeping cables stretch confidently across the Avon Gorge, painted in rich golden and terracotta tones that glow warmly against a vivid, purple sky.
Soft, swirling brushstrokes and delicate colour gradients give the sky a magical, almost dreamlike quality.
Below the bridge, the landscape is bursting with life. A sea of wildflowers in pinks, purples, yellows, and whites fills the foreground, painted with playful splashes of colour. The river winds gently beneath the bridge, reflecting hints of the surrounding colours.

Clifton Suspension Bridge
The Clifton Suspension Bridge
is a celebrated symbol of Bristol, gracefully spanning the dramatic Avon Gorge and connecting Clifton to Leigh Woods.
Designed by the visionary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge was completed in 1864, becoming one of the most impressive engineering achievements of the Victorian era. Its elegant design features sweeping iron chains and two imposing stone towers, stretching 702 feet across the gorge and offering stunning views of the River Avon below.
More than just a functional crossing, the Grade I bridge is a beloved landmark that reflects the city’s rich history and innovative spirit.
