Clifton Hampden Bridge, Road bridge in Clifton Hampden, England.
The Clifton Hampden Bridge spans the River Thames with six gothic arches constructed from brick, ranging between 24 and 34 feet in length.
Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and opened in 1867, the bridge replaced a ferry service that had operated at this location since the 14th century.
The bridge represents a significant transition in Thames Valley transportation, connecting the communities of Clifton Hampden and Long Wittenham in Oxfordshire.
The structure serves as a vital crossing point over the River Thames, providing a direct route between the northern and southern banks for vehicles and pedestrians.
In 1976, a message in a bottle thrown from the bridge traveled across the English Channel, reaching France after ten months.
