Dist:0.3km<br/>We walked this footpath initially from west to east over several very difficult stiles and nearly got to our goal of the minor road at the other end, only to be greeted in the last field by a herd of cows..... jealously guarded by one big bull. Nevertheless, we about turned and came back the way we'd come! I bet this public footpath doesn't get used to its full potential very often!

Dist:0.4km<br/>A sandstone bridge carrying a road over the River Laver [pronounced with a long 'A' as in 'lather'] in Latherton. Two inscribed stones show that the bridge was rebuilt in 1923. The Laver is the main tributary of the Skell, the two small rivers uniting on the edge of Ripon before joining the Ure.
