Description

Two bridges spanning "The Dell", a partially man-made series of waterfalls, rockpools, terraces and steps.

The Upper Bridge is built of gritstone and has a single-span arch carrying a path across the ravine from where there are views of waterfalls and pools upstream and downstream. It has a voussoir of thin gritstone slates and parapets finished with semi-circular rock-faced stones laid side by side.

The Lower Bridge is built of gritstone and has a single-span arch carrying a path across the ravine from where there are views both upstream and downstream. It has a voussoir of thin gritstone slates, stepped parapets on its approaches, and a rustic balustrade above the arch consisting of stone slabs supporting stone copings.
