The bridge’s most unusual detail is the set of temple-like lodges, once part of the toll crossing. Their symmetry makes the bridge worth a pause on a walk east of central Bath. The crossing still carries busy road traffic, so the appeal lies in observing its design from the public footways.
What to look for
Four former toll houses frame the road crossing.
The lodges resemble small classical temples.
The bridge spans the River Avon east of the central sights.
Useful to know
Use the public footways to see the lodges and river; keep clear of the carriageway.
Treat the toll houses as private buildings, viewed from outside.
