North Bridge Walk

Explore the bridge crossings of the River Ure at and near Ripon’s historic North Bridge. The story spans not just the river but centuries of engineering know-how. We will look closely at the medieval stone North Bridge, find the site of the all-but-vanished Victorian railway bridge and venture under the modern and innovative Duchess of Kent Bridge carrying the A61.
