Description:
The Bridge of Sighs in Oxford, England. The bridge is often referred to as the Bridge of Sighs because of its supposed similarity to the better-known Bridge of Sighs in Venice. There is a false legend saying that many decades ago, a survey of the health of students was taken, and as Hertford College's students were the heaviest, the college closed off the bridge to force them to take the stairs, giving them extra exercise. However, if the bridge is not used, the students actually climb fewer stairs than if they do use the bridge. United Kingdom.
