One of Brunel’s great achievements -this was the longest unsupported brick arches in the world when it was built and still one of the longest today. Kids will love the echo when you are underneath it!

My dad did a bit of research, and stumbled across this magnificent piece of Victorian engineering, so we decided to go and venture,and we were not disappointed. A word or advice, parking is a bit of a lottery, but be patient, it’s well worth it I can assure you. As you walk across the field towards the Viaduct,a sense of wow and aura,will greet you, to think that was built in the Victorian times puts in in to context. Your camera will be out to marvel in the architecture, take a shot like most people do of the stunning brick work through the continuing line of arches, just how they managed this you will ask yourself??. Continue through into a field,which again gives you a lovely vista,which when we went on a clear and sunny day is a sight to behold,you can have a picnic, as you watch the trains cascade back and forth to London to Brighton. So in summary, go find this hidden gem, and you will be ouseing about viaducts, and the history that is linked to this one.

Beautiful Old Toll Bridge situated in the pretty seaside town of Shoreham-by-Sea. This bridge is the last of it's kind in Sussex and in fact anywhere else in the world. Once used for vehicles to cross the river, it closed to traffic in1970. Walk this beautiful bridge and take in the views along the river, for those of you who love a long walk, you can go either side heading north from the bridge and cross the metal bridge at Upper Beeding and walk back, depending on walking speed 1.5 - 2.5 hrs.

Marlow bridge is a beautiful structure, even more special due to its age and use. It’s best viewed from the tow path in Higginson Park or from the Lock on Mill road at sunset or dawn. It is twinned with it’s larger sister in Budapest crossing the river Danube, yet is still gloriously celebrated and fiercely protected by all Marlovians. The bridge, for many locals, holds memories of New Year’s Eve celebrations when the traffic across the bridge is suspended and the majority of the town attend to watch the fireworks set off from up the Thames. Many Marlovians, in years past, would celebrate receiving their exam result by jumping off Marlow bridge and many have enjoyed numerous hours rowing under it, to turn by the wier and head back to the Rowing Club (where Olympic gold medalists Steve Redgrave, Niomi Riches and Katherine Grainger famously started their professional rowing careers.) What with its history, age and sheer beauty, Marlow Bridge is a must see, either at night or during the day. You can watch the towers, the visitors to Higginson Park, the river traffic and of course, nosey at any weddings happening at the Complete Angler or All Saints church.

The main buildings at Hertford College are linked together by a corridor called the "Bridge of Sighs," built in 1913-14 and named after the Ponte dei Sospiri in Venice.

Although we couldn't enter the colleges due to Covid we did wander round most of Oxford and this is a lovely sight to find and a good photo opportunity.

Staines Bridge is a beautiful crossing of the River Thames and providing fantastic views across the river from either side. It's serving a busy main road, but has wide pavements to allow pedestrians to be safe and relaxed. It's within easy walking distance from the town centre - and it's well worth to go down to the river and walk alongside the tow path. A specific arch is provided to walk underneath Staines Bridge directly by the river. Walking along River Thames on the tow path, one comes after a few hundred yards to a small wooden pedestrian bridge crossing the River Colne as it's flowing into the River Thames - there's monument marking the location where the 2 rivers join. Another few hundred yards is a picturesque boat mooring point with a little park and a replica of the London Stone. Lovely!
