Heading towards the village of Aldwark, save those who wish to utilise the rickety toll bridge over the River Ouse - in which case take a left after passing the woods.

Aldwark Bridge in 2000

Road toll bridge over River Ure, which becomes River Ouse shortly downstream. This is the only bridge across the river between York to the south and Boroughbridge to the north.

Aldwark, bridge approaching village

According to the OS benchmark database there is a benchmark cut into the east parapet of the bridge which crosses a small stream feeding the River Ure. A giant hogweed was flourishing and obscuring the parapet and so no search was made.

Aldwark, bridge as approaching the village

According to the OS benchmark database there is a benchmark cut into the east parapet of the bridge which crosses a small stream feeding the River Ure. This is the bridge parapet taken from the grounds of Aldwark Manor, and this confirms that the bridge parapet is still standing. A giant hogweed was flourishing and obscuring the parapet along the road, and so no search was made for the benchmark.
