Description

Ferry Bridge, dated 1716, is a fine ashlar bridge located on the boundary between the parishes of Castor and Orton Waterville. It features three spans with round arches, fluted keyblocks, and cutwaters. The moulded parapet is ramped up to the center. The north abutment includes two chambers with two plain segmental-headed doorways on the east side and two bulls-eye windows on the west side. A stone tablet inscribed "The Bridge was built at the sole cost and charge of the It Hon William Fitzwilliam 1716" is also present.

Local climate

Ferry Bridge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 89% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
