More about this scene
The branch line from Wadebridge runs along the southern shore of the estuary; the first train ran on 23 March 1899. The last train was on 28 January 1967, and the line is now the Camel Trail, a superb cycleway. The bridge in the picture is just south of Padstow.

Bridges

They include footbridges, clapper bridges, pack-horse bridges, medieval arched bridges, toll bridges, decorative Palladian bridges, suspension bridges, bascule bridges, canal bridges, and railway bridges. Evocative and atmospheric, these stunning images show British engineering at its most innovative and graceful.
