The '''Woodburn
Some bridges of modern design and construction can have a negative aesthetic impact on its surroundings, but this is not the case here. Oak handrails were sourced locally, the aged and beautifully weathered wood now blending in harmoniously with its backdrop of deciduous trees and moss-covered rocks. Each steel post has subtle differences to its neighbour, which accommodates the slight curvature of the bridge. This creates a visually pleasing profile that changes depending on where the viewer stands. At the end of the day though, it is still a bridge. It serves a purpose and provides walker and cyclist an alternative to using the stone bridge on the main road in Skelwith Bridge. Here, however, form and function work together harmoniously.
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
The bridge was named after Trevor Woodburn, a local man who had originally suggested the idea back in 1998. It was officially opened in July 2007.
