One of the focal points of Reeth and the surrounding area is the suspension footbridge built over the River Swale, known locally as Reeth Swing Bridge. It is known as a swing bridge, even though it is not a swing bridge on a central span, because in bygone ages on the older, more rickety bridge, kids used to get the old bridge to swing like mad by grabbing hold of the support wires and jumping up and down. Naughty kids, how dare they have fun!
