Bridge Chapel

You'll spot Bridge Chapel from the road near Huntingdon - a small, almost toylike medieval structure that looks like it might blow away if you sneeze at it wrong. It's genuinely tiny, a 14th-century chapel built right onto a bridge, which is exactly as odd and wonderful as it sounds. The thing is, it's one of very few bridge chapels left in England, so even though you could walk past it in under ten minutes, it's worth pulling over for.

The chapel itself is barely bigger than a garden shed, with that distinctive medieval stonework and a real sense of what life was like centuries ago when people apparently thought 'let's stick a place of worship on a crossing.' If you've got an interest in medieval architecture or local history, you'll find it genuinely fascinating - the kind of thing that makes you wonder what possessed the builders. Less so if you're after a proper outing that'll keep the kids occupied for hours.

It's free to look at from the outside, though getting inside depends on access arrangements we couldn't confirm. Worth allowing twenty minutes if you're passing through, maybe half an hour if you're the type to stand about reading plaques. The site works perfectly as a quick stop between the caravan parks dotted nearby - Crystal Lakes Leisure and Quiet Waters are barely a mile away - or as part of a broader meander around Huntingdon itself. Don't make a special journey for it, but if you're staying locally and fancy something a bit different from the usual attractions, it's proper worth five minutes of your time.
