Background
History
The bridge was built in 1797 to connect Stackpole Court and Home Farm to Stackpole Quay and the New Deer Park. At some point face-to-face iron ties were added to hold the bridge together. On 2 August 1996 it was listed by Heritage in Wales (now Cadw) as grade II* for its eyecatching nature as a major feature of Stackpole Park, and as part of the Stackpole group of buildings.
Description
The bridge is built over a weir between two ponds (part of the Bosherston Lily Ponds). There are eight segmental arches in limestone, one with slightly projecting keystones. The arch rings are in ashlars; the rest of the arches in common stonework. There are a low rebuilt parapet walls, with slight wing walls at each end, on either side of the 3.3 m roadway.
