Description
Dobson's Bridge is a road bridge dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a single wide arch. The arch is made up of alternating thick and thin voussoirs, which support a pointed parapet with rough coping. The bridge is reinforced by four stout buttresses that support the abutments.
