A beautiful picture Doug. Good information. It looks much older but is in great condition and deserves it's listed status.

The bridge has certainly undergone repair/conservation in fairly recent years as can be seen from the lighter coloured stones. I doubt this was the first bridge in this location, the monks would need some easy way to cross the river, unless of course they could walk on water!

Thanks so much for your kind comments Rosa.

All the best, Doug
