Another Thames bridge has closed.
The Bloomer’s Hole bridge near Lechlade is closed for repair.
The diversion, in place and signed, is a return to the route used until the millennium. The bridge has lasted 25 years.
Turn north up the long straight path and then left along a road to cross the tiny River Leach. Go left again passing The Trout to cross St John’s Bridge. A small gate on the right leads to a stepped path down to St John’s Lock where Old Father Thames can be found.
