This Grade II listed Aqueduct (also called "Aqueduct 23") was built in c.1770 by Mr Brindley to carry the Trent and Mersey canal over the River Dove.

Monks Bridge (Egginton Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge (also called Eggington Bridge) was bypassed when the A38 became a dual carriageway in 1926. The current bridge dates to c.15th century, though it was widened in the 17th century.
An earlier structure (pre-13th century) may have existed at this site to carry the Roman Icknield Street across the river.
It is now closed to all vehicle traffic.

The Crossing Cottage

Highlight • Settlement

The Crossing House, or Crossing Cottage, used to sit on the NSRC 'Jinnie' line which ran between Burton Upon Trent and Tutbury from 1848 until 1960.
The track was dismantled in the 1970s, and some of the route now forms Princess Way, though some is a footpath that runs from Stretton to Rolleston on Dove.
