À propos du livre
This book is a compendium of a series of guide books by the same author based on one walk books whose theme is bridge walks where the route of a walk crosses the path of a number of bridges sat in a back drop of scenic beauty formed by ice age glaciation and the deposition of carboniferous limestone scenery that attracts many visitors to the area.
This book will appeal to those walk or sight see in the Yorkshire Dales where natural erosion and glaciation has resulted in many waterfalls, streams and fast flowing rivers. This has led man since prehistoric (Mesolithic/Neolithic) times from his hunter gather existence to present day to use his ingenuity to build bridges to cross such obstacles to hunt, farm, travel or move goods, minerals and thus expand agriculture, industry and commerce.
This series of bridge walks are in Malham and the surrounding areas which include Littondale, Wharfedale, Kettlewell and Inglebrough areas. The bridge walks cross bridges that range from the prehistoric, ancient Clapper Bridge made from natural materials to that of Victorian engineered Ribblehead viaduct whilst others are more recent editions courtesy of the National Park. Consequently, in the Yorkshire Dales, these man made structures are of varying style and construction, are often obscured by the natural beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
The walks are varied; some are suitable for those with young families, while others are more suitable for the more active walker.
It is hoped the book will prompt one to look at man's ingenuity as well as hills, greenery and scenic views.
