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 !]
