# Bracklinn Bespoke Steel Timber Bridge

The previous bridge over Bracklinn Falls was washed out in floods in 2004 and gorge was completely re-landscaped. The need for a new bridge as both a path link and a viewing platform in its own right came out as a clear priority during core paths community consultations. Access restrictions to site necessitated an innovative approach and partners decided that an unusual design would bring more visitors to the site.
