A very beautiful and picturesque footbridge here over Step Gill. A good place to stop near if you need a rest in a peaceful location!

Step Gill rises up on Old Cote Moor before descending here. (There are times when there is no water in it, but it is weather-dependent.) Nearby, there is a rather attractive-looking traditional stone barn to complete the idyllic picture of the area!
