Part of Old Mill Bridge in Dittisham parish. Road bridge over stream at the head of Old Mill Creek, a tributary of the River Dart. Probably late 17th or early 18th century. Dressed slate rubble. A small 2-span bridge, the arches widely apart. The main span to the north is wider and has a 3-centred arch. The smaller south span to the south has a segmental arch. Both arches have dressed slate arch rings and chamfered imports at the springing of the arches. The parapets are intact, splayed out over the north abutment and cranked up at the centre; they have vertical lacing slates and dressed slate coping stones. There are no cutwaters. This is a well-preserved example of a small late 17th or early 18th century bridge attractively situated at the head of a picturesque creek.
