Seawalls views, wildlife and geology of the Avon Gorge ST5599 7468
From Seawalls you will get spectacular views along the Avon Gorge. One of the interpretation panels here will help you discover key landmarks and provides information about the history of the gorge.
The site is internationally important for its wildlife (designated as a Special Area of Conservation). It's home to rare plants and insects as well as nesting peregrine falcons. Read the Wild City panel to find out more about the special plants and animals that you might encounter on your visit. 
The Ancient Landscapes geology panel explains how this iconic landscape was formed.
