Ancient woodland and a floodplain

            The ancient parkland has been virtually untouched for 1000 years. 
Along with brown trout and grayling, the Wye is the only river in the country to have a large population of spring spawning wild rainbow trout.

The bridge is associated with the legend of Dorothy Vernon, the younger daughter of Sir George Vernon who was the heiress of Haddon Hall
. The legend states that in 1563, Dorothy eloped with John Manners, the second son of the Earl of Rutland, by fleeing through the gardens of Haddon Hall and crossing this bridge to meet Manners, who was waiting for her
.
While the details of the elopement cannot be fully verified, it is known that Dorothy Vernon did marry John Manners in 1563 and the couple later inherited Haddon Hall upon Sir George Vernon's death
. The bridge has become an iconic symbol of the Dorothy Vernon legend and is a popular tourist attraction at Haddon Hall.
