Description

The Bridge, built in 1775 and attributed to Lancelot Brown, is a Grade I listed structure located in St Martins Without Burghley Park. This impressive ashlar bridge features three round arches and is adorned with stone balustrades that include couchant lions, crafted by Henry Gilbert of Stamford, at both ends. The bridge serves as a passage over the west end of the lake in Burghley Park, an area that was landscaped by Brown starting in 1756.

Local climate

The Bridge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 59% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
