Lennox Bridge in the Blue Mountains

Located in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, Lennox Bridge (or the Horseshoe Bridge) is the oldest surviving stone arch bridge in Australia, If you are in the area it is worth a quick stop off the Great Western Highway. A parking bay allows you to park away from the road, making access to the bridge safer than parking on the main roadway. Steps lead down to Lapstone Creek which flows under the bridge, but they are rough and irregular, so take care. Before you go down the steps there is an information board with a brief history of the bridge.

During our visit, the creek wasn’t flowing, so with care we were able to walk under the bridge to see the stone work and archway. We also went a little further, as we had our boots on, which made it easy to see a little more of the natural setting, also great for taking pictures.

This was a quick stop, but great stonework in the construction of the bridge, was great to look at and well worth the time.
