Description

Halfa Bridge is a road bridge built in the mid-18th century. It is constructed from limestone rubble and features two segmental arches supported by a central pier. The bridge has splayed cut waters that rise to create pedestrian refuges, which are protected by solid parapets. Although it is dated to the mid-18th century, it was thought by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, Westmorland, in 1936 to possibly be from the 17th century.

Local climate

Halfa Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,250 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 34 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
