Monk's Bridge 320m south east of Farthwaite - List Entry

Description
"...Despite being traditionally associated with nearby medieval Calder Abbey, Monk's Bridge is thought to have been either constructed or rebuilt in the 17th or 18th centuries. It is, however, a good and relatively rare surviving example of a simple single span packhorse bridge, a type common in the region during the medieval and early post-medieval periods, with the arch high enough above the water level to protect the bridge from rapidly rising flood waters which are a characteristic of rivers draining the Lakeland fells...." -
