Seven Bridges Valley follows the River Skell from Studley Lake upstream towards Ripon. Not all the bridges still span the river as high levels of silt have slowed, blocked and changed the flow over the years. There is a project set up to remediate and return the river to a healthier state.

Have fun watching the River Skell disappear, making some of the seven bridges redundant!
