Hamilton Bridge

Archaeology

A post-medieval bridge at Lower Foxdale. The Rev. J.G. Cumming, in "The Isle of Man" in 1848 recorded that:  "A little lower down by the road-side near Hamilton bridge is a very pretty waterfall, which in rainy weather pours down a full torrent some thirty feet over a ledge of clay-schist into a wooded hollow. Hence the valley downwards is of a very fine character, and becomes more and more impressive as we descend. It is refreshing after the desolate, treeless wildness of the granite district, to look upon such a rich combination of wood, water and rock, valley and fell, which here presents itself before us."
