Location

The bridge is to the south of Eysey which is in modern local demography, after the departure of agricultural labourers' tied cottages, synonymous with Eysey Manor: a grand house and mixed farm.

East of here the river separates the civil parishes of Cricklade and Latton (to the north);[2] but the Church of England parish of Cricklade spans both banks.[3] About 500 metres to the east of the south-east bank are fields of Castle Eaton.[4] The Key joins the Thames upstream of the bridge.
