Description

The run of six iron footbridges over the burn at Cambo House dates from around 1800 to 1830. These decorative single-span segmental-arched cast iron footbridges are set within the designed landscape of the Cambo Estate. Some of the bridges feature cast-iron balusters and stone abutments. Each bridge has a pierced arch ring, a series of rings in the spandrels, and a moulded band at the top. It is noted that some bridges are in poor condition.

Bridges 1, 2, and 3 (from south to north) are located at coordinates NO 60366 11221, NO 60359 11241, and NO 60370 11301. Bridges 1 and 2 form a pair, both adorned with elaborate cast-iron balusters featuring curvilinear and geometric patterns with floral details and open splayed ends. Bridges 2 and 3 are situated within the walled garden and have timber decking, while Bridge 3 includes later timber railings.

Bridges 4, 5, and 6 (from south to north) are located at NO 60424 11480, NO 60622 11593, and NO 60776 11657. This group of three bridges is set in woodland. Bridge 4 has slender cast-iron balusters and a railing with curved ends, while the other two bridges have modern timber railings.
