Rainbow Bridge, Oxford
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Rainbow Bridge (or formally but less used, High Bridge) is a curved footbridge over the River Cherwell in the University Parks, Oxford, England.[1] The bridge is made of concrete with metal railings, in the shape of a rainbow, hence the name. The bridge was constructed in 1923–4, through a project for the unemployed. The bridge was financed by the University of Oxford, colleges at the University, and individual subscribers.[2]
In the summer months, there are often punts travelling along the river under the bridge and there is a good view up and down the river from the top. On the other side of the bridge from the Parks there is a footpath that leads across the meadows to the suburb of New Marston.
