The bridge you're standing on was built in 1468 — on sacks of wool.
We observe the history that most people walk past. In Wadebridge, that history is under your feet on the River Camel — the Bridge on Wool, built by Reverend Thomas Lovebond, vicar of Wadebridge. Local legend says it was founded on wool sacks pressed into the riverbed. Widened in 1853, again in 1963, refurbished in 1994. You're still walking on it.
AJ walks it at ground level, that day, in that moment — no lecture, no tour, just what the walk revealed. Then Ground to Sky over all three bridges over the Camel, with a near hand-catch over the river and a dog on the Challenge Anneka Bridge who had other ideas.
A butcher in Mousehole told us to come to Wadebridge.
