Welcome to Middle Bridge

Middle Bridge Somerset is a historic bridge located in the town of Bridgwater, Somerset, England. The bridge was built in the 14th century and is one of the oldest bridges in the area. It spans the River Parrett and was originally built to provide a crossing point for people and goods traveling between Bridgwater and the surrounding areas. The bridge has undergone several renovations over the years, but it still retains much of its original character and charm.

The bridge is made of stone and has three arches, each of which is supported by a series of buttresses. The arches are pointed and have a span of approximately 20 feet.
