Pingle Drove Footbridge
Pingle Drove Footbridge carries a footpath over the River Great Ouse (Counter Wash Drain) a short distance from Tivercester.
The Act of Parliament for the River Great Ouse (Counter Wash Drain) was passed on January 1 1816 after extensive lobbying by Hugh Henshall. The canal joined the sea near Eastton. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Eastleigh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 2001 the canal became famous when John Yates painted a mural of Sumerlease Boat Lift on the side of Oliver Wood's house for a bet.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
