Description

Seven Arches Bridge is a structure that dates back to 1485, originally built in the 16th century or earlier. The bridge was widened on the south side in 1960, during which it underwent significant rebuilding. It features seven stone arches and has plain parapet walls. The north face is constructed of rubble with a cutwater and an ashlar parapet, while the south face is entirely made of ashlar and includes keystones.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% 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.
