Dist:0.9km<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.

Dist:1.0km<br/>I assume this is the "stately home" allied to the park. Or is it linked with the Node

Dist:1.1km west<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.
