Description

Bouthray Bridge is a bridge, likely dating from the 18th century, constructed of stone rubble. It features two segmental arches, with the eastern arch being wider. There is a central pier built on a concrete base, which includes a cutwater on the north side. The bridge has a plain parapet that is inscribed with "CC/BOUTHRAY BRIDGE". It has been widened, evident from the straight joint at the soffits of the arches.

Local climate

Bouthray Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,600 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 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 59% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
