Woollett Bridge, Painshill Park

Woollett Bridge, Painshill Park
This footbridge on the south side of Painshill lake goes across to Grotto Island on the right.
It is not the original which was constructed in the 1840s. This is a reconstruction, built off site in 2012. It is a replica of one known from a 1760s engraving by William Woollett, the only remains of which were the brick abutments.

Painshill Park Trust maintains the park. It is a registered charity which was formed to restore the 18th century landscape and they have done an exemplary job.

A lovely little bridge, but the cedar takes first place.-) A very well composed photo! I never heard of that park, but I see that Wisley isn't far- that's one I know;-)

Thank you, Carol. Apparently we are not alone in admiring the view and I certainly cannot take any credit for the colours ;-)

The bridge is only a replica but the cedar is the real thing so I can understand it drawing the most comments. Yes, Wisley and Painshill are quite close, but worlds apart with the sights they offer. Thank you for your kind comments, Gudrun.
