Description

Harford Bridge is a bridge over the River Tavy, likely built in the 16th century, with some rebuilding occurring in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed from granite and metamorphic stone squared rubble, featuring granite coping on the parapet walls. The bridge has three arches, with two triangular cutwaters on each side that create refuges. The western and central arches are segmental and consist of two chamfered orders, with moulding along the inner springing of the arches. The eastern arch is of earlier construction, slightly higher, made of metamorphic stone instead of granite, and has similar mouldings. The parapet walls are about one metre high and are splayed back at each end, with a square granite pier located at the southwest.

Local climate

Harford Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 71% 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.
