Trinity Bridge in Crowland, Lincolnshire, is a rare three-way stone bridge dating back to the 14th century. This illustration from the 1800s shows the river under the bridge in the 1600s.

It was originally built between 1360 and 1390 to replace earlier wooden bridges spanning the junction of the River Welland and a distributary.

Constructed from Barnack stone, the bridge provided an innovative solution to crossing two waterways at their divergence.

The rivers were rerouted in the 17th century, leaving the bridge standing over dry ground.

Now a scheduled monument and Grade I listed, it remains a striking historical landmark in the town.

"Leonardo da Vinci's self-supporting bridge is a masterpiece of engineering and creativity.
Designed without the use of nails, screws, or ropes, the bridge is supported by an ingenious system of joints between the beams, using only the force of gravity for support.
Designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, it is a symbol of Leonardo's intuition and genius, capable of combining simplicity and functionality.
A work that reminds us how beauty can emerge from within…"
