Description

Slaughter Bridge is a road bridge over the River Camel, likely built in the 18th century. It is constructed from slate stone rubble and granite, featuring a central span flanked by two narrower spans, all three supported by roughly cut granite lintels. The bridge has two stone rubble cutwaters, and the slate stone rubble parapets have been partially renewed and are splayed over the abutments.

This bridge is traditionally linked to the site of King Arthur's last battle, with King Arthur's stone, which likely commemorates Catinus, son of Magarus, located nearby and designated as an Ancient Monument. The name "Slaughter" may originate from the word "slohtre," meaning a marsh or muddy place.
