Description

Haughhead Bridge, built in 1840 with later repairs to the parapet, features four segmental arches made of red sandstone ashlar. Some re-pointing has been done to the piers, and the arches are complemented by ashlar voussoirs, soffits, and abutments. A string course runs below the plain ashlar coped parapet, and there are band courses on the shallow, chamfered triangular-plan cutwaters. Raised vertical rectangular panels above the cutwaters divide the arches and extend up to the parapet. The bridge is flanked by low curved and coped red sandstone ashlar approach walls, and there are no pedestrian walkways.

Local climate

Haughhead Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,200 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 54 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 29 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°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.
