Built in 1853 under the name of Bridge 77, this rather elaborate bridge is on the Canford Estate and straddles the Stour Valley Way. Likely named for the first Lady Wimbourne, the bridge ceased to function for rail traffic in 1977. You can walk underneath it and climb the steps to the top.

Canford Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Well over a hundred years old, this narrow suspension bridge lies just outside the grounds of Canford School and crosses the Stour. Only wide enough for one person at a time, the bridge sways a little as you cross and its midpoint is ideal for admiring the river. Here, you'll see duckweed, grasses and trees, leaning over the surface.

2013 saw six months of renovation work during which the bridge was closed. The renovations helped secure the bridge and repair corrosion, restoring it considerably to its prior beauty.
