A long stone bridge that was originally built in roman times, but has had numerous alterations to accommodate modern requirements.

Even so the bridge has a traffic light system so only one direction of traffic comes across at a time to limit damage and to accommodate the narrowness of the bridge.

From my count it is seven arches long and about 5m wide and in a great condition.
