God's Bridge
-
Description
"A natural limestone bridge carrying the Pennine Way across the River Greta, just south of the busy trans-Pennine A66. Alfred Wainwright in his guide 'Pennine Way Companion' describes it as follows: 'There are several natural rock bridges over streams in the limestone districts of the northern counties, formed by the erosive action of water, and God's Bridge is a happy choice of name for many of them. God's Bridge on the Greta, near Pasture End, is a splendid example: here is an intrusion of limestone in the native millstone grit of Stanmore and the river characteristically pursues an underground course'."
