Clifton Observatory is one of the most 'Instagrammed' UK locations

Bristol has plenty of views worthy of being captured on camera - from landmarks to quiet corners of the city centre, there is plenty to see. Of course many people, both locals and tourists, share images of our beautiful city on their social media, well it would be rude not to.

While Clifton Suspension Bridge, Ashton Court or The Christmas Steps might seem like great locations for the perfect snap, it is somewhere else which has been named as one of the most Instagrammed locations in the country. Clifton Observatory has been identified by London North Western Railway as one of the "worst kept secrets" in Britain.

Of course the Observatory is an iconic part of the city's landscape but it seems visitors just cannot get enough of sharing the incredible views of Bristol and Avon Gorge. Built in the mid 18th century the observatory has had several roles but is currently thriving as a tourist attraction, cafe and wedding venue.
