White Moss Bridge
White Moss Bridge is one of a number of bridges over the River Greta along the line of the former Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway. After the closure of the line in 1972, the section from Keswick to Threlkeld was converted into a popular path for walkers and cyclists.
Three of the bridges, including this one, were destroyed in Storm Desmond in 2015 and as a result the path was closed for a considerable time. This bridge, a completely new structure, was installed in March 2020 when the path was reopened.
