Essex Bridge crossing the River Trent

The Essex Bridge is a Grade I listed packhorse bridge over the River Trent near Shugborough Hall at Great Haywood. It was built in 1550 by the Earl of Essex.
It is now the longest remaining packhorse bridge in England with fourteen of its original forty round span arches left.
The Staffordshire Way long-distance footpath crosses the bridge.
