Description

Galand Bridge is a raised walkway built around 1750, designed with arches for riding and for a waterfall. It is constructed of coursed gritstone rubble. The bridge features a tall round arch on the left, with a pathway underneath, a central buttress, and a lower arch on the right that spans over the waterfall. Although located in Markington Parish, it was likely built to carry a pathway from Studley Royal to a viewpoint overlooking Fountains Abbey before William Aislabie acquired the area in 1768.
