Description

Bow Bridge is a road bridge over a stream, built in 1801 by John Burt for the Ilminster Trust. It is constructed from ham stone ashlar and features three arches, with the outer arches being narrower and silted, all of which are semi-circular. The bridge has plain parapets that are slightly curved in plan, with curl stop-piers at each corner and segmental arched plain tops to the parapets.

Local climate

Bow Bridge receives an average of 790 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 56% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 65% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
