Description

Lostwithiel Bridge is a Grade I listed structure spanning the River Fowey. It was built in the mid-15th century, with an additional flood arch added in the 18th century and some late repairs. The bridge is constructed of slatestone rubble and features chamfered granite copings on the parapet walls. It runs east to west across the river, with the 18th-century works located to the east.

The bridge has five pointed arches, which include relieving arches. From the south side, there is a low four-centred arch to the left, followed by the four main arches, two of which are slightly taller and have cutwaters between the refuges on top. The five original arches each span 13 feet, and the roadway is 11 feet wide. The parapets, added in 1676, are splayed back at the west end and extend approximately 30 feet in total. To the right, there is a taller round flood arch with a buttress to the left and a smaller round floor arch, which was rebuilt in the 18th century.
