Nice lanes which are a bit flatter than most of the surrounding area. Good opportunity to go a bit faster than usual.

Langwathby Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In the darkness of an early March morning in 1968 the 300 year old stone bridge collapsed leaving a 70m gap.
A "temporary" girder bridge was constructed as a replacement but this has been used ever since.
