Smardale Bridge

A little south of the Smardale Gill Viaduct we arrive at this old humpback bridge across Scandal Beck. We have to cross it and turn right before climbing back to the old railway line walk. See PiP
It is officially listed with notes that it was there before 1948.

Enjoy the day.

The old bridge fits so well into the landscape as do the drystone walls. A beautifully composed photo- HWW!

Herb Riddle replied to Roger (Grisly):

We are lucky that such bridges have been preserved. Had it been in mainland Europe many bridges like this were destroyed during the many wars to stop artillery being able to cross the rivers.

HWW, enjoy the day. Herb
