Starbotton footbridge The bridge on a bridleway is the only crossing point of the river between Kettlewell and Buckden. One of the pillars had recently been given temporary protection following flood damage the previous winter (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3193993">SD9574 : The Dales Way</a> for a 'before' view).
