Description
The Eight-Arch Bridge, built in 1797, connects Stackpole Court and the Home Farm with the New Deer Park and Stackpole Quay. It spans a weir between ponds and features eight segmental arches made of limestone masonry, with the two central arches being slightly larger. The facing rings of the arches are constructed from ashlar, while the rest of the arches use common stonework. In some areas, remedial iron ties have been inserted from face to face. One arch has slightly projecting keystones on each face, but there are no other decorative details. The carriageway is only 3.3 meters wide between rebuilt low parapets, which terminate in slight wing walls. The bridge is listed as Grade II* due to its significance as a prominent feature of Stackpole Park and for its group value with other remaining structures associated with Stackpole Court.
