Bridge over Beldon Beck Bridge on the well used footpath between Castle Bolton and Carperby. It appears to be a typical 'North Riding' type with concrete beam and metal handrails, possibly dating to the 50's or 60's.

Two stone bridges These two stone clapper style bridges are a fairly recent addition to the Castle Bolton to Carperby footpath, and assist with the crossing of West Bolton Beck. The flagstones appear to be recycled as they are of a regular size and are chamfered along one edge. The supporting stones beneath look suspiciously like concrete blocks.
