Historic, Medieval Bridge, Crossing the River Avon
Clopton Bridge的点评
点评：The Clopton Bridge is an historic, medieval bridge, crossing the River Avon in Stratford-upon-Avon. Built in the 15th century by Sir Hugh of Clopton, it replaced an even earlier timber bridge. The stonework is clearly very old, with large, roughly hewn and weathered blocks. The long span has 14 pointed arches. Some time after it was built, it was described as “a sumptuous new bridge and large of stone”. Sumptuous isn’t normally a word I’d associate with a bridge (unless perhaps it was gold-plated or studded with diamonds) but we get the idea and clearly it was an impressive bridge in its day.
A toll house was added in 1814 to collect money for ongoing maintenance. You can still see this today - its the small turret-like building at one end of the bridge.
A cast iron footway was also added in 1827.
Walking along the riverbanks here is very scenic and crossing any of Stratford-upon-Avon’s bridges gives another nice vantage point across the water.
It’s worth noting that the nearby Tramway Bridge is a more pleasant one to walk across because it’s pedestrian-only whereas Clopton Bridge carries a lot of traffic. Also you get a good view of the Clopton Bridge and its arches from the Tramway Bridge.

翻译：克洛普顿桥是一座历史悠久的中世纪桥梁，横跨埃文河畔斯特拉特福的埃文河。它由克洛普顿的休爵士于15世纪建造，取代了更早的一座木桥。桥身的石工显然非常古老，由粗犷、饱经风霜的石块构成。桥跨很长，共有14个尖拱。建成后不久，它被描述为“一座宏伟的新桥，石料雄厚”。通常情况下，我不会用“宏伟”这个词来形容一座桥（除非它是镀金的或镶嵌着钻石的），但我们能理解桥的魅力，而且很明显，它在当时是一座令人印象深刻的桥梁。
1814年，桥上增设了一座收费站，用于收取日常维护费用。如今，您仍然可以看到它——它是桥一端的一座小型塔楼式建筑。
1827年还增建了一条铸铁人行道。
沿着河岸漫步，风景优美，穿过埃文河畔斯特拉特福的任何一座桥，都能欣赏到河对岸的美景。
值得一提的是，附近的有轨桥步行更舒适，因为它只供行人通行，而克洛普顿桥的车流量很大。此外，从有轨桥上，您还可以欣赏克洛普顿桥及其拱门的壮丽景色。
