Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Greta bridges Bridge 7 Between the former Keswick and Threlkeld stations, the disused Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway crossed the River Greta no fewer than 8 times in a distance of only 4 miles. All these bridges are of the bow-string girder construction, of various sizes and alignments. In addition, the same stretch saw it crossing the Greta's main feeder, the River Glenderamackin, although the bridge here is of a simpler design. This stretch of railway, which opened in 1865 and closed in 1972, has now been converted into a footpath/cycleway, so all the bridges are easily accessible. To view all the bridges, which for identification purposes I have numbered 1 to 9 in an upstream direction, see https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2583546. Also included in the series are the two viaducts by which the A66 crosses the Greta, and the interesting Threlkeld Bridge on the old A594.
This is Bridge 7, with the short Wescoe Tunnel beyond, looking back in the Keswick direction. On the post on the right at the entrance to the bridge can be seen a red 71, being the number of the Sustrans route of which the old railway forms a section. |
