The bridleway from Marcham Mill (right-of-way number 17 in Marcham parish) passes south over the River Ock via a grade II listed bridge, known locally as Mill Bridge. The bridleway here was temporarily closed in August 2013 because the bridge was currently deemed unsafe. Now that the repairs are complete (ten years later, in October 2023) the bridleway has been reopened. The Marcham Society held an opening event on the bridge on Saturday 21 October 2023, complete with ribbon cutting. As can be seen in the foreground of this photograph, it is very muddy on the approach to the bridge and the bridleway beyond is flooded in places. This photo is taken from approximately the same location as this one from just over three years ago while the bridleway was closed: Image
