A bridge across the river at Burnsall was in existence early by the 14th century.
[1] It was brought down during a flood in the summer of 1673, which destroyed many other bridges on the river.
[2] The bridge was reconstructed, with funding from a charge levied across the West Riding of Yorkshire.
[5] It is a much-photographed location, on a picturesque section of the river, and is crossed by the Dales Way.
It has triangular cutwaters rising to pedestrian refuges, a band, a parapet and end pilasters.
