It is almost unbelievable that this was still serving vehicular traffic in 1970. Built in 1814 by Thomas Telford the Scots engineering genius. Currently some maintenance works going on so parking is limited and the workmens containers are right beside the picnic area so not very desirable right now. Apart from the workmen though the was totally deserted and we had the beach all to ourselves. Lovely area with great history and one of our favourite wee bridges. When the works are finished the circular walk over the will be open again. Glorious and elegant arch, spanning the Spey in a stylish way. A masterpiece by Telford, combining the gothic with hi-tech ironwork. Built only a generation after the first iron but so much more advanced. There’s a wee car park with level access onto the bridge. You can also walk to the ‘beach’ below. A very old spanning the River Spey. Built by Thomas Telford. A lot of history attached to it. It has a small sandy beach. A very sharp turning to the small car park, going North off the A9 just after Aberlour. There are no facilities. Stopped to walk the dog and admirevthe stunning river and bridge.it was a warm sunny day so lovely to be sat by the river for a while. Beautiful old bridge. A treasure to visit. Spent a few hours just to enjoy the view and the peace at the banks of the river Spey. Beautiful colours complete the picture. Beautiful and great place to stop Worth a visit. Read a bit about the history of the bridge, walk to the wee beach from the car park and walk over the for a gorgeous view of the river.
