Beggars Bridge, Glaisdale
This attractive packhorse bridge crosses the Esk near Glaisdale
The structure bears the date 1619 and the initials T.F. for Thomas Ferris
There are a couple of stories about the bridge, so just choose the one you prefer.
Lost love and the Spanish Armada or less fancifully a tramp

Also immortalised in the song “The Beggars Bridge” by Vin Garbutt - who obviously believes the romantic version of the story
