A listed early 19th century bridge of ashlar construction. the bridge has a single arch over the river and two smaller arches either side.

Probably built for the Earls of Shrewsbury as a carriage bridge, now it is the footbridge that connects Dimmingsdale to the Churnet Way (Oakamoor to Denstone) ... and the Chained Oak.

Cookie's keen eye spotted this natural cavity in the rock face and she seemed to claim it.

It was on a slope that was slippy with the showers so it was fun getting up (and back down😉) to photograph what she had found.
