This magnificent structure is Devil's Bridge in Kirkby Lonsdale. It was once the main crossing of the River Lune but now it carries just pedestrian traffic.
It is a popular meeting place for bikers and at one time it was quite popular for people to jump/dive into the river although that is now prohibited by local by-laws so people just come to admire the view.
On this particular day the river was high and flowing really fast following several days heavy rainfall.
Fortunately the rain held of long enough in this particular day allowing for a lovely walk along the banks of the river and into the town where I was unable to resist a delicious ice cream...
