This historic bridge spans the Little Petherick Creek. It's an old stone structure with a traditional Cornish design, and the views as you cross it toward Padstow and over the water toward Brea Beach and Rock are spectacular.

An Iron Bridge spans the gap over Little Petherick Creek and gives a glimpse into the Camel Trail's past life as a railway line.

The railway opened in 1899 with this bridge being the final piece of the puzzle connecting Wadebridge and Padstow. The trail over the bridge has been updated to accommodate walkers and cyclists from its original narrow wooden path.
