Forming a picturesque scene near Askham, the bridge arches over the River Lowther whose waters have their origin in the north-east Lakeland fells above Shap.

The earliest tourists to the Lake District were overwhelmed by the 'horrid' and 'frightful' nature of the mountains and crags, which frowned down on them as they negotiated the passes.
