Dist:0.2km north<br/>At the end of the day walking around here, you leave via a ruined farm building cutting through the centre of it. Nice and spooky.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This new bridge cost between £60,000 to £80,000 and is still not finished. I assume it has not been officially opened. Difficult to lay a red carpet with all that mud.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This new footbridge at Plankey Mill was opened in 2007 to replace the old suspension bridge. The deck of the bridge is set high above river level to minimise the risk of flood damage. Viewed from the east bank.
