Mythe Bridge

Elegant 19th-century iron bridge over the River Severn just north of Tewkesbury.

Mythe Bridge is a graceful iron bridge over the Severn, just north of Tewkesbury where the river landscape opens out. Designed by Thomas Telford's circle and listed for its engineering interest, it adds a satisfying architectural stop to a town better known for its abbey and medieval streets.

The bridge is not a long visit, but it rewards anyone walking or driving the river edge. It makes most sense as part of a Tewkesbury circuit that includes the abbey, the riverside, and the low meadows that explain why floods and crossings matter so much here.
