Low Gardens Bridge

Low Gardens Bridge is a road bridge dating from the mid to late 18th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed from coursed and squared rubble sandstone, featuring dressed blocks on the parapet walls and ashlar copings. The bridge has a wide, single span shallow arch supported by embanked and ramped abutments with stone facings. The arch is made of two tiers of thin rubble voussoirs, with rubble spandrel infill, which support more precisely coursed dressed masonry parapet walls. The bridge spans the River Lowther, which forms the boundary between the parishes of Lowther and Yanwath and Eamont Bridge. This impressive and largely unaltered road bridge has a vernacular origin and scale, and it was later enhanced when it came under estate ownership.
