This small bridge, built in the 17th century, serves as more than just a means of crossing a stream. It was constructed to connect a house and its gardens, as well as orchards, to the other side. The Bridge House, which sits atop the bridge, was originally built as a summer-house, providing its occupants with a tranquil retreat.
