Description

Bow Bridge is a bridge built in the early to mid-19th century. It is made of Devonian limestone ashlar and features a single round arch with well-cut voussoirs on each side. At both ends, there are shallow buttresses that have a slight batter. There is a raised band course below the parapet, which has a plain coping on the downstream side; however, the coping on the upstream side has been rebuilt.

Local climate

Bow Bridge receives an average of 870 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 64% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.
