Description

Holme Bridge is a pack-horse bridge built in 1664, constructed from ashlar gritstone. It features a narrow design with five segmental arches and cutwaters that rise as pedestrian retreats. There is an offset band beneath the parapet made of deeply-coursed blocks with single-chamfered copings, and a cross-base at the apex of the downstream cutwater. The north approach includes stone bollards and a railing, while the south end has approach walls of a later date above two round arches. Holme Bridge is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, with Derbyshire County number 17.

Local climate

Holme Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 980 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 79% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 48 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 89% of listed buildings. Of these, 29 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.
