The photographer would be the first to admit that this isn't the best ever photo of a bridge, but to capture an image of the stone arch would involve either a 10m abseil down a rockface, or a longer route through head high nettles. [neither appealed] The bridge spans a narrow and deep cut through the limestone where once ran a railway line connecting Moor Quarry with the Wensleydale line below.
