Packhorse Bridge at Washgate

Grade II listed packhorse bridge straddling the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border along the course of the upper River Dove. This was a crossing point for the old packhorse route between Longnor and the Goyt valley and a number of paths still converge here, albeit with vastly reduced traffic.
