God's Bridge

On our return from Ling Gill NNR our route took us over God's Bridge (SD 798 775). This is a natural limestone arch which carries the path over a beck. A small but significant feature typical of the Dales and known for centuries.

It proved a refreshingly cool spot to spend some time beneath on a scorching hot day.

If the water's low enough, it's possible to scrabble right underneath God's Bridge, following the water. Please take care not to climb directly over the drystone walls though, there are stiles built in to the walls though they take a bit of finding.
