Winner of 2007 CPRE Design Award.
This bridge was carved from a naturally-curved sweet chestnut tree growing just 200 yards from the site. Along with the National Park's countryside maintenance team who helped, I walked into the site each day and not having to use any heavy machinery meant that the carbon footprint of the bridge was very low. <You can watch a video of the bridge being made here> Golden Clough bridge

Private commission / the Stile Company
Winner of 2005 CPRE Design Award.
For a client in commemoration of her husband who was a keen walker. The previous bridge had been washed away and walkers have had to ford the stream for the previous 2 years. It was made from one piece of curved oak and the handrails cut from the same tree to follow the same line.  River Noe bridge
