    Great Harbour Bridge: across the water

    Walk — About 900 m from KW2; allow 15–20 minutes.

    Around 19:00, look at the water and harbour lights. Crossing is free. If the bridge is rotating, wait for it to reopen; the date does not depend on catching a show. Head back early if the wind is strong.
