Summary

Description
English: This is the River Avon seen looking upstream from the southern end of the Tramway Bridge.

Clopton Bridge is a masonry arch bridge with fourteen pointed spans crossing the River Avon at the place where the river was forded in Saxon times, and which gave the town its name. The bridge carries the A3400 road.

The bridge was built in 1480 replacing a timber bridge which may have dated back to 1318. Two arches were rebuilt in 1524. Other repairs and alterations were made in 1588, 1642, 1696, and 1811. A ten-sided toll-house tower was added in 1814, and a cast iron footbridge attached to the north side in 1827.
