Description
Alswear Bridge is a road bridge over the River Mole, likely built in the 18th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and features a single span with an unusually deep segmental arch. On the Alswear side, there is a smaller segmental-headed flood arch, which is probably a later addition. The parapets of the bridge sweep out at both ends and display significant signs of repair.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
