    Wonderful place to take a rest in journey and to take the photos. We can see the old bridge from the new brighe which we travel. Old Bridge is in no use. It is call as fool's Bridge. Can reach the old bridge through narrow pathway, very close to main road. Under the bridge, running river is Good and safe spot to bath. Clean and cool water to bath gives good experience.

    An ancient work of British engineers which have a unique rare design. You can get a perfect view from the new bridge and if you manage to clear through some jungle you can hike along the old road that fool's bridge connected and get on the fools bridge. Rhis bridge connects the opposite sides of Mahaweli river, which is the longest river of Sri Lanka. This bridge is popular among locals because it's easy to reach and it reminds of an important period in Sri Lankan history.

    It build upside down. But it strong enough to travel. Be careful if you walk on it. Because it is too old one. There is a new bridge also.

    There's a famous story circulated about this bridge that it was mistakenly built up-side down by a British engineer who then at the end realizes and commits suicide (jumping off the bridge) in great disgrace, eventually leading to its name "fool's bridge". This should be just a tall tale and actually this is a Deck-truss design of a bridge which is very rare anywhere.

    No road to go close by.Cannot reach or view even from the tea Estate. But can have a distant view from the new bridge of the main road.
