At the heart of this market town is the Great Bridge, a seven-arch medieval stone bridge that spans the River Avon. Built around 1200, it was expanded in the Victorian era and remains a main road in the town.
The best views of the bridge are not whilst on it, although crossing it on foot does give you lovely views of the river. The George pub has a beer garden that looks directly across to the bridge or there’s a park opposite, on the east side of the Avon which also has great views.
