Gordon Hatton's Geograph [[121861]] describes this wonderful bridge, I saw tractor tracks in the mud over the bridge, hope they're careful as there's a 10 Ton limit and I wouldn't say it's 10 feet wide !

Dist:0.2km<br/>Moss is a small green plant, rarely more than a few inches high, which grows anywhere not overshadowed by taller vegetation or perpetually dry. There are more than 600 species in the British Isles, growing on rocks and walls, in woodlands and on tree trunks and branches. They are important pioneers of rock surfaces, holding moisture in their leaves and building up humus in which the seeds of flowering plants can germinate. There are two alternating generations in the life cycle of moss. The plant itself carries male and female organs. After fertilisation, these produce a capsule. Stalk and capsule together form an asexual, spore-bearing generation. The spores produced are capable of germinating into a new plant. Mosses also reproduce vegetatively, by small pieces breaking off and growing into a new plant. As they are rootless and tend to get their nutrients from water running over or through them they are nearly always short.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Actually called Mill Bridge. It is so overgrown around here I had to fight to get to the bridge, and nearly fell in the beck in the process.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Heugh is a traditional dales farmhouse which appears to have been 'gentrified'. It stands high on the south side of the dale and enjoys a fine view towards Muker and the fells beyond.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Barns like this are scattered among the villages, meadows and pastures of the Yorkshire Dales and are structures of great character forming a monument to the hard work of the labourers of past generations.
