Lennox Bridge in The Blue Mountains

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Lennox Bridge on Mitchells Pass at Glenbrook is the oldest stone arch bridge on the Australian mainland.
Lennox Bridge in The Blue Mountains
This elegant single-span stone arch bridge was built in local stone and completed in 1833 by David Lennox using unskilled convict labour.

It took one year to complete. The sandstone was quarried nearby and the bridge carried all the traffic to western New South Wales until 1926.

An early engineering masterpiece. The car park beside Lennox Bridge is the trailhead for several family and pet-friendly bushwalks
