Hiking

Spanning the Thames, Henley Bridge dates back to the late 18th century. With five arches and made of stone, it's quite striking. Its age is impressive but it actually replaced a wooden predecessor and, before that, evidence shows another stone bridge was in its place, perhaps Roman. Nearby on the Berkshire bank is the Leander Club, one of the world's oldest rowing clubs.

Hiking

Henley Bridge has five elliptical arches and constructed of stone. It was designed by William Hayward and built in 1786. The keystones on either side of the bridge have the heads of Isis and Tamesis, sculpted by Anne Seymour Draper. You can just see the head of Tamesis above the centre arch.

In August 2010 the bridge was damaged by a boat named Crazy Love. A £200,000 repair programme commenced the following year.
