Hell Gill Bridge, Mallerstang

Hell Gill Bridge, an early 19th century bridge that replaced an older bridge spanning the gorge of Hell Gill on the Cumbria / North Yorkshire boundary.
An earlier bridge over the gill carried the main road from Wensleydale to Westmorland and was a popular stopping place for drovers and packhorse trains. It was the site of an annual fair and local women laid out stalls here with provisions for the travellers. Lady Anne Clifford would have also crossed an earlier bridge here as she travelled between Skipton Castle and her Westmorland estates.
