Carew Bridge

Three arches with a long causeway approach at each end. The causeways are constructed with a battered face to the downstream side (W) and to part of the upstream side. The carriageway is about 4.5 m wide between parapets. The parapets widen out at each end and the W parapet is continued for about 50m along the N bank of the downstream pond.

The bridge arches occupy the centre section and are separated by two cutwaters which also provide pedestrian refuges. The arches are each of about 3 m span and of segmental shape with deep thin voussoirs. The centre arch rises about 0.3 m higher than the outer arches. The bridge structure is in coursed limestone rubble the cutwaters and voussoirs hammer-dressed and the parapet in random rubble with large flat copings.
