Cycling over the Severn Bridge is a scenic and memorable experience, with the bridge crossing the Severn Estuary and connecting South Gloucestershire in England to Monmouthshire in Wales.

It's part of the National Cycle Route 4, and cyclists are permitted to use the footpath/cycleway located on the northern side of the bridge.

It opened in 1966 and replaced earlier ferry services. It was a key engineering feat of its time, featuring a suspension design, and remained the primary crossing until the opening of the Second Severn Crossing in 1996.
