Of medieval origin but widened in the 1800s, this stone bridge spans the River Stour at Spetisbury and is a lovely place to pause (in one of the cut-waters) and admire the river as it ambles south.

The upstream side of the bridge is the older, perhaps 15th century, but significantly harder to get a good view of due to private land preventing access. Nonetheless, the bridge is magnificent however you look at it. It's named 'Crawford' as it takes the road to Tarrant Crawford, a little to the north.
