Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

Beggar's Bridge, Egton Lane, Glaisdale.

The white sign was a big clue, suggesting an active railway, but probably a heritage line in view of the amount of vegetation on the bridge.

What you call a flipping bridge was supposedly built for more romantic reasons.

I was thinking that it was probably the original bridge, there before the modern road bridge was built?

The railway is the Middlesbrough - Whitby line and not a heritage line.

Oops

I actually found it by searching for arched stone footbridge, which quickly led me to a picture. I then used the railway to find the spot without checking what sort of line it is at that point.

I'll post the next early evening if @T4tomo hasn't confirmed before then.

 

[Aravis]

Try this, then (with apologies to @T4tomo). You won't find the like anywhere further south:

There's not much left of those walls!

 

[T4tomo]

Well done @Aravis

A bit of pinch of salt history of the bridge

I sense that a clue is anticipated.

Nothing cryptic, for now anyway. There are at least two notable features clearly visible which are the most southerly of their type.

One of the constituent parts of the UK is easily ruled out.

Ok - not Wales - no 'ARAF' marked on road!

 

[ColinJ]

I think I know roughly where the road must be, but I am really struggling to find it!

me too... I've narrowed it down to an archipelago in north western Europe

 

[T4tomo]

I thought I'd identified the most southerly pickup truck in the UK, but I cant find it on streetview

 

[ColinJ]

The 2 most southerly Nuttalls in England are on Dartmoor, which looks a lot like those lumpy hills from a distance...

 

[MontyVeda]

Not sure if it is a canal but the most southerly canals appear to be around Dartmoor too.

You need a regional flavour.
