No, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is not the first suspension bridge ever built. It was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1864, but earlier examples of suspension bridges date back to ancient times, such as the Inca rope bridges in South America and various timber suspension bridges in Asia. The first modern suspension bridge is often considered to be the Menai Suspension Bridge, completed in 1826.

I believe it is the Clifton Suspension bridge in Bristol, which was built by I K Brunel (who built the first suspension bridge) completed in 1864 using chains from Hungerford bridge which he had also built. Actually the Menai suspension bridge, which crosses the Menai Straits between mainland North Wales and the Isle of Anglesey, was built by Thomas Telford and completed in 1826. So that would make it a lot earlier than the Clifton bridge.
