Dist:0.2km<br/>Slightly run-down and in need of sprucing up, but must still be used by someone - at least I assume it must be since the pitch is fenced in to keep the cows off.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Designed by Sir William Chambers and dating from around 1764 the bridge gave a grand entrance from the east to the Hoo Park estate. As Rob points out in [[160375]] the bridge passes over a ditch, and not, as one might expect, the River Mimram which flows anonymously under the access road to the bridge a little way to the east. The ditch is now dry and was probably part of the landscaping of the estate, rather than a naturally formed watercourse. Recently the bridge fell into such a state of serious disrepair that it was included in the Buildings at Risk Register. However maintenance works, mainly funded by a grant from English Heritage, have restored it to its original condition. The bridge is marked in Gothic text on the OS 1:25,000 scale mapping reflecting its antiquity.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The cottage was hidden behind bushes so this was more interesting. Wonder about pit props though

Dist:1.1km east<br/>Grand-looking bridge which carries the track from the B-road to The Hoo over a ditch. It seems like an excessive effort and quite out of place, unless the ditch used to be a full-blown river when the bridge was built.
