You can now climb the SS Great Britain rigging and the views of Bristol are unmatched

The SS Great Britain is one of Bristol's most iconic attractions. The city hotspot is a museum ship and former passenger steamship was the largest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1854 making it a key part of history.

Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the ship is now a key statement of Bristol's harbour. Many visit to explore the ship - which offers a range of different experiences and key ways to learn about history.

But, not many know that you can see the ship from above. The 'Go Aloft!' project is supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund and Arts Council England and offers something a little different for visitors.
