Gem Bridge towers 78 feet (24 m) above the River Walkham, affording wonderful views over the valley below. Until 1965, the original Walkham Viaduct would have stood here. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it was demolished after the closure of the railway.

It's a wonderful experience to cycle over the bridge, especially in autumn when the trees are painted red.

This is a good One. Especially when the trees are in their autumnal colours.

Vandring

Towering above the River Walkham, Gem Bridge is an impressive walkway that stands on the site of a former railway bridge, built by Brunel. Observation points allow you to stand out of the way of cyclists and walkers, so you can admire the views easily.

This new bridge is made largely of steel and has five arches. Its minimalist, railing-topped construction was chosen so that you could see the forest through it and remain sympathetic to the surroundings. It opened in 2012 to cyclists and walkers.
