Description

Cunsey Bridge is a bridge, likely built in the 18th century, constructed of stone rubble. It features two segmental arches with a central island. A channel to the west directs water from the stream past a weir on the island to the northern arch. A mill race begins to the east of the southern arch and is connected to Cunsey Mill, which is located further to the east and is probably from the same period.

Local climate

Cunsey Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,570 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
