Bow Bridge, Askrigg

Bow Bridge crossing Grange Gill Beck at Asklrigg in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire.
Bow Bridge Force can just be seen in the distance.
This early 13th century bridge, possibly the oldest in the Yorkshire Dales, was built on the Upper Wensleydale estates of Jervaulx Abbey so may have monastic origins. It was widened on the downstream side around 1774 to accommodate the Richmond to Lancaster turnpike road.
