Woodhall Bridge is a beautiful five-span wrought iron truss that spans over the River Wharfe. The bridge was constructed in 1868 as a railway bridge by Joseph Whitham and Son of Leeds, it now acts as a bridleway carrying pedestrians and cyclists over in a scenic woodland area. It's a beautiful place to stop and catch your breath before continuing your meander along the river.

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of West Yorkshire, Bardsey village has roots dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appeared as "Berdesei" and "Bereleseie."
