Zip wire from Clifton over the Avon Gorge
Bristol's Tourism bosses are planning on installing a giant zip wire running down Avon Gorge, passing under the Suspension Bridge and ending near the Cumberland Basin.
John Hirst from Destination Bristol says it could bring thousands of people to the city and is working on a plan to do it next year when Bristol becomes European Green Capital.
Talks are underway to run the project with the company, Zip World Snowdonia, which already runs two of the wires in Wales.
