Grinton Bridge

There is a record of a bequest left in 1547, to fund the reconstruction of the bridge,[1] and it is possible that the northern arch survives from this period.

[3][4] The 2014 Tour de France crossed the bridge, but in July 2019 it was largely destroyed in a flood.

[4] The bridge carries the B6270 road over the River Swale.

It is built of stone and consists of three semicircular arches, the northernmost being more pointed on the upstream side.

The bridge has triangular cutwaters rising to canted buttresses containing pedestrian retreats, voussoirs, a string course and parapets.
