Stenkrith Bridge and the Eden Gorge

A view of Stenkrith Bridge from Stenkrith Millennium Bridge, Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria.
Here, the River Eden plunges dramatically through a gorge with spectacular whirlpools and rapids. This is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its geological formations as the gorge has formed not from true limestone, but from brockram, a breccia of limestone fragments within sandstone. The rock formations are known locally as The Devil's Grinding Mill and the Devil's Hole.
