Little Dunkeld Bridge

The bridge itself is modest - a single-span stone crossing over the River Tay that's been there since 1827 - but what makes it worth stopping for is the landscape it sits in. You're looking at proper Highland scenery here: the river cuts through a wooded gorge with steep banks on both sides, and the bridge frames it all rather nicely. It takes about ten minutes to walk across and back, though most people linger longer just taking in the light on the water.

This isn't a destination that'll keep you occupied for hours. It's a proper pause-for-breath sort of place - the kind of spot you swing by between other activities rather than plan a whole morning around. That said, the walk down to the bridge from the roadside has its own appeal, especially in autumn when the trees are doing their thing, and if you've got kids they'll be entertained by the water for a bit. History enthusiasts might appreciate the engineering of the thing, but you won't find plaques or visitor facilities here.

The nearest base is Erigmore, just 0.3 miles away, where Erigmore Holiday Park sits ready to welcome caravans and motorhomes. Inver Mill Farm Caravan Park is another solid option nearby. Both put you well-positioned to explore this stretch of Perthshire properly - the bridge works best as part of a broader day wandering the Tay valley rather than a standalone trip. Go when the weather's decent; there's nowhere to shelter if it turns.
