Tips from the Community
The name “Mathematical Bridge” derives from the fact that this bridge is built with entirely straight timbers, though it maintains an arch shape. This makes for some interesting architectural study while punting down the river below it! The legends surrounding the bridge are just as intriguing as its shape.

Definitely gravel surface, a nice wide one, too, despite Komoot/OSM identifying it as a "white" road

The entry is free of charge. You can visit the cementry, as well the visitor centre with great interactive informations. Especially the visitor center is valuable. In summary is the cementry a very thought-provoking place.

Nice play with geometry and one of the highlights when looking into Queens from the road. Also great if you get the chance to cross the bridge itself.

There’s also a memorial to the Canadian pathfinder bomber crews that flew from RAF Gransden Lodge, which was situated here, during the war.
