Terras Pill Bridge

Terras Pill Bridge is a stone road bridge that crosses the East Looe River between Duloe and Morval. It features a main arch for water flow and a secondary arch to handle flood conditions.

Built around 1825, this bridge was added to the Grade II listed buildings register in 1985. It was constructed during an era when stone bridges became essential for connecting isolated communities.

The bridge shows traditional Cornish building methods and connects two neighboring communities. It remains part of the local landscape and heritage that people have known for generations.

You can walk or drive across this bridge to reach either side of the river. The northern section continues onto a causeway that floods at high tide, so it may be impassable at certain times.

What makes this bridge special is how it shares space with the nearby Looe Valley Line railway. Trains must stop and signal before crossing, creating an unusual shared passage between rail and road.
