바홀름과 스토우 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Lovely walk, easy to follow. Pretty & peaceful route. Was quite muddy in places so hiking boots essential

Scenic bridge providing a quiet route over the Welland into Deeping.

There are 2 pubs near the bridge and a couple of cafes in village centre within 1/4 mile. Get a coffee and sit by the river for a good rest stop.

Good fast descent from Uffington but do look ahead for traffic before ripping it across the narrow bridge.

Take care here. The bridge has a blind crest and is narrow (cars width) so be prepared to stop and don't try and squeeze by

The Packhorse Bridge at Deeping St. James was built in 1651, just after the English Civil War. The bridge is narrow, with refuge ledges either side of the bridge for pedestrian safety. A marker on the side of the bridge indicates the high level of the water during the floods of 1880.

When turning out of Uffington to head for the river, look at the gatehouses with their busts of wild men atop the pillars. The wild men are actually crowned saracens who appear on the coat of arms of the Bertie family who built the grand house in the 1680s, which was destroyed in a fire in 1904. So there are gatehouses without a hall not far from this bridge!
