This bridge is in an area of woodland. The route of Great Heads Beck was landscaped in the early part of the 19th century whilst the land was still in private ownership and a number of bridges and stepping stones laid out to provide easy walking trails through the woods.

This is the lower of the bridges along a path leading from the north east corner of the park to Waterloo Lake. This lake was created by flooding quarries and coal mines and was carried out by soldiers returning from the Battle of Waterloo, hence the name of the lake.
