The original bridge was built in 1907 across a tributary stream of the River Medway, and was originally called Posingford Bridge.
Access is around 15 minutes on a pretty walkway through the woods, bordered in places by handmade Eeyore Houses (the rustic, wooden A-frame structures from the tale in which Pooh and Piglet re-build a house for Eeyore….who not unusually is complaining nobody loves him)! Located close to Cotchford Farm, Poohsticks Bridge has been rebuilt to replicate Ernest Shepard’s original sketch, and was subsequently reopened in 1979 by Christopher Robin Milne and officially renamed as Poohsticks Bridge.
The Disney Corporation generously provided a substantial donation towards the cost to replace the original bridge, and together with donations from members of the public this funded its complete reconstruction.
