Essex Bridge is a historic, Grade I listed packhorse bridge located at the Shugborough Estate in Staffordshire, England, which crosses the River Trent. Originally built in the 16th century, it is notable as the longest surviving packhorse bridge in Britain and was constructed for Queen Elizabeth I's use, linking the estate to nearby woodlands. It is one of the oldest bridges in England that has not been altered. The bridge is situated over the River Trent near Great Haywood and is an integral part of the Shugborough Estate, a National Trust property. It was built around 1550 by the Earl of Essex for a visit from Queen Elizabeth I so she could access hunting grounds on the other side of the river. It is the longest surviving packhorse bridge in Britain, with 14 of its original 40 arches still intact today. The bridge is a Grade I listed monument and is one of the oldest un-altered bridges in England. source: internet

Great place to stop, try the Laughing Duck Cafe for refreshments

Fradley Junction Laughing Duck Cafe is a great place to stop

Great little Cafe with friendly staff. Although on the main road, cyclists can take their bikes round the back of the cafe. Enter by the side of the barbers next door.

steady climb, but great downhill

always have 5 minutes or so here

A wooden footbridge carrying Meadow Lane across the Trent was built in 1830. Previously the river was crossed by a ford, still used by cattle and horse-drawn vehicles after the bridge was constructed. The wooden bridge was replaced by the brick- and stone-built Weetman's Bridge in 1887. The bridge was erected by Joseph Weetman with money raised by public subscription.
