Description
Water Yeat Bridge is a bridge over the River Lickle, with an uncertain date of construction, likely from the 18th century. The bridge is built of stone rubble and features a broad segmental arch made with thin voussoirs. It is also equipped with iron parapet railings. The bridge was widened to the south at some point.
