Backbarrow Bridge


The bridge at Backbarrow carries the road over white water falls on the River Leven. The bridge dates from the late 17th or 18th century and is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.[1]  The bridge's walls were damaged in floods, following the heavy rainfall across the UK in November 2009.
