Shan House Bridge Over the River Aire

Highlight • River

The River Aire is 71 miles (114 km) long and rises at Aire Head near Malham, and it joins the River Ouse at Airmyn. This is the footbridge that crosses from Mickletown Methley to the Causeway leading to St. Aidans Nature Reserve. It has good views down over the sedate moving River Aire, which is travelling through some beautiful woodland at this point.

On the left hand side of the canal after Woodlesford Lock. The guy does all of the wooden animals by hand, it was lovely talking to him. Thanks for some lovely things to look. If you have some change to spare it helps with the charity.
