Old Iford bridge is grade 2 listed by English Heritage. The middle section of the bridge spanning the River Stour dates back to 1184. Officially half the bridge is in Bournemouth and the other half is in Christchurch. Better to get there early as the spot is popular for people feeding the ducks and families having picnics as well as people having impromptu sandwich breaks.
