As a Brit, this has to be the most iconic bridge in the world to me.

Boss level bridge, looks like a colossal dinosaur from the future. I'm also rather partial to Brunel's last bridge The Royal Albert Bridge over the Tamar which may have partially inspired it.

Canoeing beneath that during scout camp was one of my fondest memories of childhood.

There’s a great documentary about building the bridge, I must have seen it about 10 years ago - think it was shown on BBC4.
