The Cumbria Way beside the River Caldew The path is the route of both The Cumbria Way and the Caldew Cycleway, at this point squeezed between the ugly metal palisade fencing erected by Network Rail alongside the Maryport to Carlisle railway and the fast flowing River Caldew (next photograph <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7723523">NY3851 : The Cumbria Way near Brownelson Wood</a>). The rapids on the River Caldew here are caused by the hard igneous basaltic-andesite rock of the Armathwaite-Cleveland Dyke (variously known as the Cleveland Dyke, Cleveland-Armathwaite Dyke or the Armathwaite Dyke) intruding into the river bed. The dyke, mapped at approximately 430 km (270 miles) in length was formed between 66 and 56 million years ago during the Palaeogene period and is part of the substantial dyke swarm associated with volcanic activity on the Island of Mull.

A sad tale of the Millennium Along with many communities, Dalston Parish Council inaugurated a number of public works to commemorate the new Millennium. These included the rebuilding of the White Bridge, a foot and cycle bridge over the River Caldew; and tree planting and the erection of a bench on the east bank. In October 2010, it was discovered that 80 % of the foundations of the central pier had been eroded away by the river, and the bridge was promptly closed for safety reasons. The bench (the top of which can just be seen) rapidly became overgrown, being no longer readily accessible from the village. Hopefully there is a happy end to this story. It was planned to commence repairs in June 2011, shortly after this photograph was taken.

Bridge restored!
Once again the White Bridge is open (see NY3749 : A sad tale of the Millennium).
The White Bridge Originally opened in 1899 and restored in 1999 for the Millennium. Severe erosion of the supporting pier led to its closure in 2010, but now thankfully repaired and reopened (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2455212">NY3749 : A sad tale of the Millennium</a>).
