Description

Fingle Bridge is a road bridge dating from the early 17th century, with partial rebuilding completed in 1809. It is constructed from coursed blocks of granite, featuring ashlar voussoirs and coping.

The bridge consists of three spans, each with a segmental arch that springs from vertical abutments and piers. The two piers have pointed cutwaters that rise to the parapet, which is stepped out to create refuges. The stone rubble parapet stands 0.8 meters high and is topped with ashlar coping stones that have rounded tops. The carriageway is 2 meters wide and ramps towards the middle.

Local climate

Fingle Bridge receives an average of 930 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 71% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
