A ‘Swing’ bridge until 1988, it is now the only ‘Lift’ Bridge over the Basingstoke Canal. There is some parking for about 4 cars on it’s southern side (vehicle in the background of the close up photo),

Once a swing bridge, the lifting bridge was installed in 1988. Spanning a tranquil spot on the Basingstoke Canal in North Warnborough, the bridge can be lifted to allow narrow boats through. It's the only lifting bridge on the canal and you can find it just south west of Odiham Castle. If you're lucky, you might even see it in action.
