Description
A long, single-arched bridge crossing a rock cutting. The bridge is built of narrowly-coursed sandstone with a stone arch that springs directly from the rock faces on either side. It is unusual in having a steep pitch from end to end and from side to side, the arch springing from a much higher position on the S than on the N. The coursing is parallel with the deck for most of its length, but steepened at the S end to equalise the eccentric loading on the arch. There is a broad string course at deck level and curving stone parapets (recently rebuilt, with round copings replacing previous flat stone copings).
