The Avenue Bridge (Bridge No. 10)

Highlight • Bridge

The Avenue bridge was built around 1830 and features a single arch with an attractive and ornate sweeping balustraded parapet.

More ornamental than most bridges on the "Shroppie", this bridge carried a drive for carriages on one of the main approaches to Chillington Hall.

Chillington Hall Avenue

Highlight • Viewpoint

This mile-long avenue of oak trees is the eastern approach to the privately owned Chillington Hall. The trees were originally planted by Peter Giffard sometime around 1725, though some of the trees would have been pre-existing.

At the end of the avenue, you can make out Chillington Hall, a Georgian manor house that is home to the Giffard family.

St Mary and St Chad's Church, Brewood

Highlight • Religious Site

The ancient market town of Brewood is rich in history and retains a sense of unspoilt, timeless charm. Among its most notable buildings is Speedwell Castle, which was built in the 18th century using betting winnings on the Duke of Bolton's horse, Speedwell.

Also of architectural interest is the sandstone parish church of St Mary and St Chad, which boasts a 168-foot (51 m) spire. The sight dominates the town's skyline.
