Description

Camel Bridge is a road bridge that spans the River Cam, likely built in the 18th century. A 20th-century footbridge is located on the west side. The bridge is constructed from local grey lias stone and features two semi-circular arches that spring from the waterline. The arches are made with double ring voussoirs and have an angled cutwater on the east side. The low lias parapet is topped with shaped Ham stone copings that are slightly angled at the ends, which have probably been renewed at least in part.

Local climate

Camel Bridge receives an average of 840 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 56% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 61% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
