Hoo Meavy Bridge

IMG_2263
Taken from the bank of the River Meavy facing north towards the Hoo Meavy Bridge. From this angle the bridge is half-concealed in dappled light, the stones softened by moss and the water glinting darkly beneath. Overhanging branches form a natural screen, making the arch seem discovered by chance, a quiet structure lying deep in a wooded valley.

A Grade II listed 18th-century stone bridge spans the River Meavy at Clearbrook, Buckland Monachorum. Built of rubble with dressed granite voussoirs, its almost-elliptical arch and cranked parapets nestle into the wooded valley. Repaired in later centuries, the narrow single-track crossing remains in use, marked by 'weak bridge' signage, and is a favourite spot for walkers and photographers exploring the Meavy valley and nearby Buckland Abbey estate.
