Clapham Beck Bridge

Highlight • River

The bridge at Clapham crosses Clapham Beck, which starts as Fell Beck high up on Ingleborough.

The village of Clapham is as lovely as this bridge and worth a look around. It is on the Way of the Roses and makes for a nice stopover or cycling base. There is a village store and two cafes which are used to feeding hungry riders.

Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice views. Apparently, there is no record of it ever been built - so it was assumed the Devil built it 🙃. We used to jump off it in younger days, there are now 'bylaw' signs which prohibit it. There is also a burger van if you fancy something to eat or a brew. Massively popular with motorbikers on weekends and in good weather. Free car park opposite from which to start your ride.
