Monks Bridge on Cold Fell, Calder Bridge
Monks' Bridge on Cold Fell near Calder Bridge in West Cumbria.
A single span packhorse bridge over the River Calder situated above a deep, rocky gorge. Although traditionally thought to be a medieval structure associated with Calder Abbey some 4 km downstream, Monk's Bridge is now believed to have been either constructed or rebuilt in the 17th or 18th centuries. Also known as Matty Benn's Bridge after Martha Benn of Wilton who regularly crossed the bridge in a state of inebriation as she travelled on horseback to and from the Gosforth market at Boonwood.
