Landacre Bridge

Landacre Bridge spans across the River Barle with sturdy stone construction and traditional engineering methods that demonstrate medieval bridge building techniques.

The bridge earned its Grade II* listed status and scheduled monument designation due to its importance in connecting communities across the River Barle through centuries.

Local residents maintain oral traditions and stories about the bridge, which has served as a meeting point for generations of Somerset inhabitants.

Visitors can access the bridge from a designated parking area on its southern side, making it a starting point for the Withypool and Barle Valley Walk.

The structure incorporates specific architectural elements from its construction period while maintaining its original function as a crossing point over the River Barle.
