Welcome to Purls Bridge

Purls Bridge is a historic bridge located in Cambridgeshire, England. It is a Grade II listed structure that spans the River Great Ouse. The bridge was built in the early 19th century and is made of red brick and stone. It is a single arch bridge that is approximately 20 meters long and 4 meters wide.

The bridge was originally built to provide a crossing point for the local community and to connect the villages of Purls Bridge and Earith. It was an important link for the transportation of goods and people in the area. The bridge has undergone several repairs and renovations over the years, including the addition of a pedestrian walkway in the 20th century.

Today, Purls Bridge is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. It offers stunning views of the River Great Ouse and the surrounding countryside. The bridge is also a popular spot for fishing and boating. It is a testament to the engineering and architectural skills of the past and continues to be an important part of the local community.
