What I should have learned from this print was that bridges are best photographed by wading in to the river rather than teetering on the bank.
The reconstructed bridge in Glen Howe Park shows how elegant the local bridge design can be.

Willow Bridge, in Oxspring, has a higher arch but a decent view is badly obscured by trees. I feel a letter to the parish council is needed, who use the bridge as their symbol for the village, to get a proper view of this lovely bridge restored.

It was simply not possible to get a good view of Unsliven Bridge in Stocksbridge, although this shot does highlight the original packhorse bridge foundations, which were later expanded in to a full road bridge. Unsliven is said to be a misspelling of the word Unsleven, which itself is said to have derived from the word Unshriven which means Unblessed. So this may be yet another Devil's Bridge.

Marsden has two packhorse bridges, one in the town centre, sitting rather awkwardly next to the church, while the other was the inspiration for this blog.

A recent trip to Spain involved some good walking in the hills and these panoramas give an impression of the spectacular views. (Clicking on the image gives a larger view).
