Gurkha Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Monument

A suspension bridge existed at this site from the mid 19th century onwards until damaged by a fallen tree in 2009. Initially a normal footbridge was going to be the replacement but the local Amberey Society managed to pull a few strings and engage a Gurkha sapper unit to construct a replacement for the costs of materials only. A plaque on the far pillar records their exploits.
