Description

Rough Bridge is a bridge located approximately 100 metres south-east of Lindrick Gate. It was likely built in the mid-18th century for John or William Aislabie of Studley Royal House. The structure is made of gritstone and limestone rubble and features two round arches, one wide and one narrow. The parapet consists of massive boulders that are roughly dressed on the inner face. The soffits are rendered with cement and lined to imitate blocks, probably added in the 20th century. This bridge once carried the path between the now-demolished Studley Royal House and the large kitchen gardens and greenhouses surrounding Wheatbrig House, spanning over the Dale, a narrow wooded dry valley connecting Lindrick Gate and the Ripon drive. Its design is very similar to Galand Bridge in Markington with Wallerthwaite, located on the south side of the park near Fountains Abbey.
