Temple Footbridge, Pedestrian bridge across River Thames in Hurley, England
Temple Footbridge spans the River Thames, connecting the Buckinghamshire and Berkshire banks, measuring 150 feet in length with a wooden deck structure.
The Environment Agency constructed Temple Footbridge in 1989, replacing a former ferry service that transported people and towpath users across the Thames until 1953.
The bridge forms an essential section of the Thames Path, enabling pedestrians to follow the historic river route between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.
The bridge currently remains closed since May 2023 due to degraded deck boards, with pedestrians directed to follow an alternative route via Temple Lane.
The structure stands as Britain's longest hardwood bridge, rising 21.4 feet above the water to accommodate river vessels passing underneath.
