I was here at sunrise, and then this bridge comes up, right out of Plump Wood (if walking from the south): a good sturdy structure (though rusty in places, but perfectly robust), and a gorgeous view of River Rye flowing lazily here in twists and turns across this peaceful bit of the countryside. Good to stop here and enjoy!
