Eysey Footbridge

Eysey Footbridge is a pedestrian crossing over the River Thames near Eysey Manor. It connects Cricklade to the south with Latton to the north and serves as a key link for walkers and cyclists moving through this part of the Cotswolds.

The bridge was built to replace an earlier structure when the river system underwent modifications in this area. These changes included the removal of a weir that once stood near the crossing point.

The structure forms an essential part of the Thames Path, a national walking trail that follows England's most substantial river from its source to the sea.

The crossing is easily reached from the Thames Path and generally passable throughout the year. Visitors should note that the nearest facilities and services are located in larger towns nearby, so planning ahead is sensible.

The River Key flows into the Thames just upstream of the bridge, serving as a natural reference point for anyone navigating the river. This confluence also marks an important boundary between the two parishes.
