Located in the heart of Clifton, Bristol, the Cathedral Church of SS Peter and Paul — more widely known as Clifton Cathedral — is one of the most architecturally unique cathedrals in the UK. Completed in 1973, it stands out for its bold brutalist design, clean geometric lines, and innovative use of natural light, making it a striking contrast to the city’s older Gothic churches.
As the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Clifton, it serves both as a place of worship and a cultural landmark. Visitors are welcome to explore its tranquil interior, admire the beautiful stained glass and concrete artistry, or attend one of its regular services or concerts. Located near Clifton Village and the iconic Suspension Bridge, Clifton Cathedral is a peaceful and thought-provoking stop on any tour of Bristol’s historic and architectural treasures.
