Description
Castle Bridge is an accommodation bridge over the River Teme, built in the late 18th century. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar with horizontal tooling and features three elliptical arches. The central arch is larger than the two flanking arches, and all arches have hoodmoulds. The bridge has a plain parapet above a corbel table over the arches, which is splayed at the ends and terminates in rectangular piers with flat capping. The bridge measures about five metres wide and 50 metres long. It served as the original main southern approach to Downton Castle, which is located nearby. It was likely designed by Richard Payne Knight, along with Forge Bridge downstream and possibly Burrington Bridge upstream.
