Built in 1853 under the name of Bridge 77, this rather elaborate bridge is on the Canford Estate and straddles the Stour Valley Way. Likely named for the first Lady Wimbourne, the bridge ceased to function for rail traffic in 1977. You can walk underneath it and climb the steps to the top.

Lady Wimborne Bridge is a notable historical structure built in 1853 as part of the railway expansion into the area. This Grade II-listed bridge showcases an ornate design that reflects the influence of landowners during the mid-19th century. Although it hasn't hosted trains since 1979 it remains an important landmark, now serving as a walking path that connects to the scenic surroundings
