Eysey Footbridge is a footbridge across the River Thames in England, just below Cricklade, Wiltshire and to the south of Eysey which is in modern local demography, and the departure of agricultural labourers' tied cottages, synonymous with Eysey Manor: a grand house and mixed farm. It is one of the first bridges at the upper end of the Thames Path.[1]

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