River Fowey at Respryn Bridge
--
Respryn Bridge is a five arched mediæval bridge spanning the River Fowey in the parish of Lanhydrock.
The bridge is of granite and stone rubble construction. The central pointed arch dates to the fifteenth century and probably represents part of the original construction which replaced the earlier thirteenth century bridge. The other arches are round and the two on the west are relatively modern. There are low parapets with granite coping and triangular stone cutwaters with refuges.
