Cotehele Bridge

Cotehele Bridge is a bridge over a tributary to the River Tamar, likely built in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of slatestone rubble with granite dressings. The bridge features two 4-centred arches with granite dressings and three triangular cutwaters that include refuges. There is a string course above the arches, and the bridge slopes upward from each end to the central cutwater. The parapet walls are approximately 1.5 metres high, with chamfered granite coping that varies in height with the slope of the ground. At each end, the parapets are splayed back to square terminal piers topped with pyramidal caps. The bridge measures about 4 metres in width and 40 metres in length. Cotehele Bridge was constructed by an Earl of Mount Edgcumbe in a style reminiscent of the 15th century, providing a roadway between Cotehele Quay and Morden Mill, now known as Cotehele Mill.
