This is The Witches' Bridge.

It's a small bridge with a 'twist'. The date stone says 1778, but date stones can be misleading & will often refer to repairs.

Legend says that witches would not make a crossing over water if they could not see to the other side, so the 'twist' is to exclude witches & evil spirits from crossing either way.

The 'twist' feature in the bridge and its purpose suggest that the bridge is perhaps older than 1778.
