Description

Taw Green Bridge is a bridge over the River Taw, built in the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed from local stone rubble, featuring larger dressed blocks for the abutments and voussoirs, along with granite coping stones. The bridge has a single span with a segmental, almost round-headed arch that springs from vertical abutments. The walls rise to the parapet without interruption, following the road and slightly ramping towards the center. The walls are topped with plain granite coping stones and curve out at both ends without any terminal piers.

Local climate

Taw Green Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 970 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 75% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 73% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 68% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
