Hunters Sty Bridge, Westerdale

Geotag Icon Show on map

Ancient packhorse bridge, visible from the modern road. Restored in 1874. It has unusual arches unlike any other bridge i’ve seen. It is believed to have some connection to the Knight Templar who were based very close by.

  1. great site, some interesting stuff. does anyone else know of information on the knights templar in the north east?

  2. There was supposedly a Templars Receptory in the Westerdale area, like the one at Aysgarth [SE035887].

    It’s locations seems to have been lost though.
    A possible location is the small structures near Esklets [NZ657018]

    There are some interesting gravestones in Westerdale churchyard belonging to Freemasons.
