In a tweet, the staff of the attraction said: "Owing to today's extreme weather, we have closed the bridge to ALL traffic and pedestrians.

"Our Visitor Centre is also closed for the day, and all tours have been cancelled. Please stay safe and warm indoors or find an alternative route if travelling."

It has been a wild night as snow has been falling across the region with 'blizzards' battering homes and strong winds cause mass disruption to transport including cancelled trains and buses.

The strong winds also managed to tear down part of an industrial building in one part of the city.

Bristol has seen some of the white stuff but most of the snow has been falling in the Cotswolds and Cheltenham.

There have been mass power outages affecting different parts of the city, with Western Power Distribution working around the clock to restore electricity.

The Met Office predicted widespread disruption lasting until 5pm today as the region is covered in a yellow weather warning until then.
