Description

Strand Bridge is a bridge over a drainage ditch, built in 1797, with a later addition. It is constructed from dressed stone and features curved parapets with end piers and flat bands. The north side has a later segmental arched addition that partly covers the datestone, while the south side has a low segmental arch. This bridge is associated with the drainage and enclosure of land in the parish during the late 18th century.

Local climate

Strand Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,590 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 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
