Description
Crookdale Bridge is a bridge over Crookdale Beck, likely built in the 18th century. It is constructed from stone rubble and features a segmental arch made of thin, irregular voussoirs. The bridge has low parapets, which have collapsed at the northern ends. The roadway is approximately 3.5 meters wide. This bridge was part of the route from Heron Syke to Eamont Bridge turnpike road, established in 1756, before being replaced by a new route over Shap Fell around 1826.
