Twizel Bridge, Duddo / Cornhill-on-Tweed - Northumberland (UA)
Remains of a medieval single-span bridge of early C16 date, spanning the River Till near Twizel Castle. The bridge retains its medieval appearance and character and has been the subject of some repairs, probably in the C18, but no major strengthening works. It was by-passed by a modern road bridge to the south in the 1980s. The eastern abutment is leaning to the south and has structural issues. In 2017-18 conservation re-pointing was done to the arch, parapets and abutments. Works to repair the leaning eastern abutments has not yet progressed.
