Lake Bridge

Lake Bridge is a bridge that carries the drive to Somerhill over the head of the landscaped lake. It was probably built in the late 19th century. The lower part of the bridge, which consists of the actual arches, is made of red brick, while the upper part is constructed from local sandstone ashlar laid to courses. The bridge has three spans with small round-headed arches and low stone cutwaters. The sides of the bridge rise to parapet walls with rounded coping, and at each end, the parapet walls curve out to square terminal piers. This bridge, along with most of the buildings in Somerhill Park and many on the estate, was built to a superior standard by the Goldsmid family.
