Hiking
Constructed in the late 16th or early 17th century, this bridge was ingeniously designed to accommodate packhorse trains transporting coal from the vicinity of Gisburn. As the town's oldest bridge, it holds a significant place in its history. Remarkably, it has been recognized for its historical importance and is proudly listed as a Grade II* protected structure.
