Redbrook Railway Bridge and Footbridge

Highlight • Historical Site

This is quite a dilapidated metal railway bridge dating from 1876 but it is in a really exceptional beautiful location. The bridge was closed to railway traffic in 1964 but has been kept open because of the footbridge. It is also a grade 2 listed building.
