Matfen is an estate village par excellence. Mostly mid-C19th neo-Tudor. The bridge over Matfen Burn has two piers with triangular cutwaters. Above are lintels and moulded bands with pyramidal piers at the ends. Quite a grand affair for a modest crossing. Grade II listed. A small and lively-looking village including a shop from which I bought a loaf of very tasty local bread.
