Halfpenny Bridge

This is the first bridge I ever loved. Its correct name is Ha’penny Bridge, but is more commonly know as Halfpenny Bridge.
This old, iron bridge is located in Linn Park — Glasgow’s second largest park. If you enter the park, walk down the hill and turn right, you’ll find it without difficulty.
It spans the River Cart and forms part of the River Cart Walkway.
There are several reasons I love this bridge. It featured regularly in my childhood — my dad would take us there at the weekends whilst mum was sleeping off her nightshift. I love nature — it’s surrounded by some awesome trees etc, and you can often see squirrels kicking back on it, enjoying the sun. The river itself. Is quite fast moving at this point (only a few hundred get away from the little waterfalls) — and you can usually spot fish and ducks in it. Nowadays, I visit her with my nieces and nephew — they love doing races across it.
But, the main reason I love it is the design. It has that awesome combination of intricate design, whilst remaining simple and elegant.
They don’t make them like this anymore!
