BRIDGE AT SW 786 400 SE

The bridge over the Carnon River, built around the early 19th century, is constructed from killas rubble with granite lintels and dressed granite hogs-back copings. It features five spans with lintels that span flat arches between slender piers, which have cutwaters on both the upstream and downstream sides. The bridge has plain parapets topped with its original copings. Although it now serves a minor road, it was once the main route from Truro to Penryn and Falmouth, facilitating access across a significant mining valley in Cornwall during the early 19th century. This structure represents a late example of the simple post and lintel design. The Carnon River is no longer navigable at this location.
