Cycling
Pake Bridge is one of the many arched stone bridges built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when the Royal Canal was first constructed. Like others along the route, it was designed to let horses tow barges beneath while carts and livestock crossed above. Today it’s a quiet spot to pause, with a bench beside the bridge that makes it perfect for a break.
