Description

Hamper's Bridge is a bridge over a stream, dated 1751, although the parapets were rebuilt later. It is constructed from hammer-dressed buff sandstone and features a single, tall, elliptical arch with a projecting course above. The bridge has a plain parapet with chamfered coping and plain iron railings that extend over angled rubble wing revetment walls. The date is inscribed on the keystone, and many of the other stones have carved numbers up to 7, some appearing on at least two faces. These numbers seem to relate to the dressing of the stones rather than to a reconstruction and can also be found elsewhere in the gardens, particularly in the West Terrace Walls.

Local climate

Hamper's Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,040 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 70% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 47 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 27 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.
