Description

The bridge, flanking walls, and piers located about 25 metres southeast of the fishing lodge date from the late 18th century to early 19th century and are part of the planned walk around the lake. Constructed from sandstone, limestone, and brick, the north elevation features a round-headed tunnel entrance made of rusticated sandstone ashlar, with plain pilasters that project slightly on either side, topped with a cornice and coping. There are limestone rubble walls on each side that curve around to square terminal piers, each with coping and a flat top made of rusticated sandstone. The wall is higher on the east side to accommodate the slope of the ground.

The south elevation also has a round-headed tunnel entrance, which includes a large rusticated keystone that breaks through the cornice, with plain pilasters on either side and no coping. Inside the tunnel, the side walls are made of rock-faced limestone, and there is a brick vault. On top of the bridge, there are limestone rubble walls with sandstone coping on the north and south sides, standing about one metre high. There is one remaining square limestone pier to the southeast with a hipped top. The wall extends about 18 metres to the north and about 30 metres to the south, where it meets the rear of the fishing lodge, ramping up towards the centre and featuring quoins at the angle where the wall turns.
