Another scene from my walk from Ravenstonedale Church along Scandal Beck to Smardale Gill Viaduct
Smardale Bridge is a 17th century arched stone packhorse bridge,traditionally known as the County Bridge because it was maintained by the county.It was once part of the old route from Tebay to Brough which predated the 1760 turnpike road nearby.Within the old county of Westmorland,it is now in Cumbria
