This cable-stayed bridge, links the Northern and Southern villages of Priory Vale, spanning the Northern Orbital Road. It is a very slender, light bridge and is constructed entirely from structural tubes. It was designed for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. To make it suitable for horses the parapets (sides) had to be high enough to prevent them from seeing the traffic passing below.
