Description
The aqueduct, located about 100 metres east of Burmsdon Farmhouse, was built between 1819 and 1823 by James Green, the engineer for the Bude Harbour and Canal Company. It carries the now dry Bude Canal over the River Tamar. The structure is made of freestone rubble and features a single segmental brick arch. The aqueduct has a span of one arch, with parapets that have been dismantled and abutments that are set into an embankment approximately 150 metres long. As of January 1988, the arch on the north face, upstream, had collapsed, and the facing of the main wall and the eastern abutment were missing. This aqueduct was part of the longest tub-boat canal in England, and at this location, the River Tamar marks the boundary between Devon and Cornwall.
