The bridge carries a miniature railway across the stream in the valley at Cricket St Thomas. In the 19th century the 2nd Baron Bridport spent over £250,000 on the landscaping of the grounds of Cricket House, damming the stream, creating a chain of lakes and planting ornamental trees and shrubs. The gardens are now Grade II Listed.
