Bloomers Hole Footbridge, Wooden footbridge between Buscot and Lechlade-on-Thames, England.
The bridge spans the River Thames with a 27-meter-long structure combining steel beams encased in wooden cladding to maintain natural aesthetics.
The Countryside Agency commissioned the bridge construction in 2000 to establish a continuous path along this section of the River Thames.
The bridge connects Gloucestershire on the north bank with Berkshire on the south bank, facilitating access to both regions along the Thames Path.
Installation of the bridge required a Chinook helicopter from RAF Brize Norton to place two steel beams weighing 8 tonnes each.
The location at Bloomers Hole features sharp river meanders that prompted discussions in 1802 about creating a river cut across Bloomer Meadow.
