View all →About This Event
A Lovelace Bridges guided walk is scheduled for September 6, 2026, at 10:30 am at River Wey and Godalming Navigations and Dapdune Wharf, Guildford. The walk explores bridges constructed during the 1860s on the Earl of Lovelace's estate. It is listed as free to attend.
The Earl of Lovelace 'decorated' his East Horsley estate with a necklace of bridges during the 1860s. Their purpose was to enable timber to be brought out of the woods by horse-drawn cart. The bridges are generally narrow but made out of local flint and brick and many of them have a plaque with a name and date. Ten of the original 15 bridges remain, we will walk around the 9 accessible ones.
Much attention has been given to the Earl of Lovelace's Wife, Ada, the daughter of Lord Byron, who is credited in some places with writing the first computer programme, but we reckon the Earl of Lovelace himself had some pretty cool ideas...
