New footbridge on Barkin Beck This bridge was erected in 2016 to replace an earlier one <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2194085">SD6582 : Footbridge near Fell House</a> that had been washed away in "Storm Desmond" the previous winter.  It includes access ramps, although I don't know how far people with walking difficulties would get on the far side.
