Hiking
Prior to the stone structure, wooden bridges served the crossing but were destroyed by floods and conflict. James Burrell, Surveyor of Works, recommended a stone bridge after ice destroyed the wooden one in 1608. Despite funding issues and changing designs, construction of the stone bridge began in 1611. It faced challenges, including a flood in 1621, but was completed and opened by 1624. The bridge's importance for main road traffic later declined with the construction of newer crossings. It is now a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument.
