Information |
Naddle Old Bridge is a bridge over the Haweswater Beck in Westmorland, originally built, probably in the 18th century, to carry the road from Bampton over the beck and up the dale where the Haweswater Reservoir now lies.
The bridge has now been superseded as the road bridge though by a more modern bridge immediately to the west and left to become romantically overgrown within the encroaching woods.
The old bridge is built of stone rubble with long thin voussoirs. It is built without parapets.
