Usually as you cross the small streams and rivers which cross the countryside, crossing is afforded by roughly hewn wooden bridges, made for function rather than form. Though, down in the Corfe valley, tucked away amongst the wooded fringes of the Corfe river we came across a beautiful stone hewn bridge. Although, now suffering from time and neglect, it's clear that this bridge was made with beauty as much as function in mind; this bridge stuck out as rare. Its location and the absence of any well used trackway or significant occupation gives no sense of why such a well build bridge was built here, so it's a bit of an enigma.
