Hiking
The magnificent bridge marks the end of the Downton Gorge, and you can just about get a view of both the bridge and the castle. The gorge is not open to the public unfortunately so this is as close as you can usually get.

Hiking
The gorge was formed by the river Teme forcing its way through a limestone ridge, and you can see the limestone where is forms the river bed below the bridge.

Hiking
The view up to the castle from the bridge over the river Teme shows how imposing the place is, up on the hillside overlooking the Teme Valley. It is an 18th Century mock castle manor house, built on the fortune of one of the Industrial revolution Ironmasters who owned Bringewood Ironworks just downstream from here.
