Summerleaze Footbridge, Wooden footbridge across River Thames between Dorney and Bray, Great Britain.
The Summerleaze Footbridge spans the River Thames, connecting the communities of Dorney in Buckinghamshire with Bray in Berkshire at coordinates 51.4998, -0.6816.
Originally constructed as a gravel conveyor belt in 1992 during the development of Dorney Lake, the structure received its name from the Summerleaze company and opened in 1996.
The footbridge serves as a connection point for Thames Path walkers and provides access to recreational areas near Dorney Lake and Monkey Island.
Located two miles downstream from Maidenhead Bridge, the wooden structure rises 24 feet above the water and accommodates pedestrian traffic between the northern and southern banks.
The footbridge functions as both a pedestrian crossing and an industrial conveyor, transporting gravel from Dorney Lake's construction site to the Summerleaze processing facility in Bray.
