Description

Ebear Bridge is a road bridge over the Grand Western Canal, built in the early 19th century, with this section of the canal opening in 1814. The bridge is constructed from large coursed blocks of sandstone ashlar and features a single span with an elliptical arch. At road level, there is a plain dripcourse that ramps up towards the center, following the road's incline. The parapet has rounded coping and curves outward at both ends, leading to terminal piers that project slightly outward.

Local climate

Ebear Bridge receives an average of 820 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 52% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 63% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
