Dibble's Bridge

Dibble's Bridge in Dibblesdale carries the B6265 road (from Grassington to Pateley Bridge) over the River Dibb - one of England's shortest rivers.

Legend has it that the bridge was constructed by the "Dibble" (or Devil) as some kind of favour to a local shoemaker. [Bridge building seems to have been some sort of hobby for Old Beelzebub, as the Devil's Bridge at Kirkby Lonsdale along with others in the country are said to have been constructed in a similar fashion !]
