Description

The Bridge is a road bridge over the River Erme, dating from around the 17th century and widened in the 18th or 19th century. It features a single span with a slightly pointed high round arch, constructed from granite rubble with dressed granite voussoirs. The bridge has curved parapets that splay out over the abutments, with chamfered granite coping on top. Originally a narrow packhorse bridge, it was widened on the upstream side, likely in the 18th or 19th century. At either end of the south side, there are granite bollards, one inscribed "Ermington" and the other "Ugborough." Historical records indicate that there was a bridge on this site during the Middle Ages.

Local climate

The Bridge receives an average of 910 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 69% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
