Officially opened on the 21st June 2016 by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo in the company of other Gibraltar Government Ministers, this 71 metre long thrill seekers attraction is a definite must for all those visiting the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
Boasting spectacular views over the city and bay of Gibraltar, the Windsor Bridge suspends proudly over a 50 metre deep gorge – maybe not for the faint hearted!
This amazing feat of engineering was carried out by a local firm Bovis Koala, working alongside Muntanya, a Spanish contractor which had completed similar projects in the Pyrenees. The main structure of the bridge was assembled off site in nearby Spain.
The team of contractors have actually done an amazing job of being able to incorporate an enormous suspension bridge right in the middle of a very green Nature Reserve, without any conflict with nature whatsoever.
The Windsor Bridge is located between two batteries along the Royal Anglian Way, one of the many footpaths that can be enjoyed by hikers and explorers alike, within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
It is actually part of a much grander Upper Rock restoration programme that has wonderfully cleared up the Royal Anglian Way and Rooke Battery to provide for fantastic walking trails and useful interpretation panels to benefit the public.
The new “Thrill Seekers Trail” is all part of restoring, revitalizing and re-branding the Upper Rock Nature Reserve. Additionally, comfortable picnic and rest areas have also been built.
Although a slight sway or wobble can be felt while crossing the Windsor Bridge, rest assured that you are in safe hands. The bridge is thoroughly entrenched on either side by huge supporting anchors that have been driven 12 metres into the rock face. Having said that, keep in mind that any slight turbulence, if felt, will only enhance the thrill seekers experience!
Visitors can access the bridge for free.

After we rode the Tram to the "Top of the Rock" we walked around the observation deck taking in the amazing views we then stopped in the gift shop and headed off down and up the trails and roads crisscrossing "The Rock" seeing as much as we could.

As I walked across to the other side I had to stop a number of times to take in the view....The Bay of Algeciras with all the ships coming and going was a sight to see. After I made it to the other side my wife started to cross the bridge and she did it rather slowly as it does have a tendency to sway a little...But both of us did make it across and stopped to take photos from the other side....
If you are on "The Rock" you have to make sure you cross the Windsor Suspension Bridge and take in its amazing views...
I have to agree with the other gentleman below. We too found it quite difficult to find. In the end we followed another group of youngsters and they lead us to the bridge. Even though this may not sound like a recommendation, (I am not good with heights), it was in fact a great experience. I myself could not cross the entire bridge. I got about a quarter of the way and had to walk back again! ...

Even though this may not sound like a recommendation, (I am not good with heights), it was in fact a great experience. I myself could not cross the entire bridge. I got about a quarter of the way and had to walk back again! But thats just me! There is a way to walk around the bridge along side the cliff which was perfectly fine for me, whilst the others all crossed over as one normally would. Even from the pathway on the side, the view was spectacular.
In the end, being the scardy cat that I am, it actually allowed me to get some great shots of the family on the middle of the bridge which was fantastic!
Looked easy to find from the bottom, but actually ended up being a bit of a search! Was foolish of us not to have a map though - so I recommend taking a map if you have one - would definitely help. The bridge itself is awesome though. Better than we had hoped for. The view from up there is extremely cool. We were fortunate to go up on a real clear day too, so you could literally see forever. Its ...
Looked easy to find from the bottom, but actually ended up being a bit of a search! Was foolish of us not to have a map though - so I recommend taking a map if you have one - would definitely help. The bridge itself is awesome though. Better than we had hoped for. The view from up there is extremely cool. We were fortunate to go up on a real clear day too, so you could literally see forever. Its a real sturdy bridge too - so there is no need to fear if you are afraid of that sorta thing. Great experience and worth the effort to find!
