Description
The Packhorse Bridge is a bridge over the River Umber, likely built in the 19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed from unrendered stone rubble and features a hump-backed design with a segmental arch made of rough stone voussoirs. The parapets of the bridge were rebuilt in the 20th century.
