Description
The Lake Bridge is probably late 18th century and serves as a roadbridge, featuring a single segmental arch over Archwood Lake. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings. The arch and spandrels are recessed, and ramped parapets are carried over on stone block corbels. The bridge is unusually architectural for its scale. The architectural detail of blocking, which is relatively widespread from the late 18th century, is similar to examples seen at Ae bridge and Wamphray bridge, both designed by Alexander Stevens. The statutory address is Lake Bridge (minor road over Archwood Lake).
Local climate
Lake Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,290 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 85% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 32 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.
