Small footbridge

Notice how small the exit for the stream is under the bridge, in times of heavy rain the stream comes over the bank on this side of the bridge. The bridge is in a small steep sided valley at the head of one arm of Wivelscombe Lake on the path between Shillingford Manor and Elm Gate.
