An ancient bridge over the River Trent that also marks the most southern point of Bonnie Prince Charlie's advance on London. He reached the bridge, had second thoughts and returned to Scotland. The bridge has far too much heavy traffic and, as it is ancient, has a varying width. Take great care if cycling across the bridge - better is to take the quiet road to the west alongside the river to Ingleby.
