Windsor Suspension Bridge: A Thrilling Gibraltar Crossing

The Windsor Suspension Bridge, opened on June 21st, 2016, is a pedestrian-only bridge that has quickly become one of Gibraltar's most iconic and exhilarating attractions. Spanning 71 meters across a 50-meter deep gorge, the bridge connects two batteries along the Royal Anglian Way in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.Constructed by Bovis Koala, a local Gibraltar firm, in collaboration with Muntanya, a Spanish contractor, the bridge's major components were assembled in Spain and transported to Gibraltar. The bridge is anchored on either side, driven 12 meters into the rock face. Crossing the bridge offers a thrilling experience, with a slight sway adding to the adventure. From the bridge, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Algeciras Bay, and the North African coastline.The Windsor Suspension Bridge is part of a broader effort to enhance the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, improving walking trails and providing interpretation panels. Access to the bridge is free, with the purchase of a ticket to the Upper Rock Nature Reserve. The bridge is accessible via a steep and winding path within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, or via a straighter, more level path from Apes' Den.
