Description

Tawd Bridge is a public road bridge that spans the River Tawd. It was likely built in the late 18th century and is constructed from sandstone ashlar. The bridge features a stilted segmental arch with plain voussoirs, a plain band, and a parapet made of massive blocks with rounded coping. It is part of a group with Stocks Farmhouse, located approximately 100 meters to the southwest.

Local climate

Tawd Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
