Slaters’ Bridge in England

Slaters’ Bridge, a charming packhorse crossing built in the 17th century, spans the River Brathay. It’s only a short walk down the alley and across the fields from the Three Shires Inn. Previously, Little Langdale served as a junction for many packhorse routes that went to Keswick, Penrith, Ravenglass, and the Cumbrian coast.

Consisting of 15-foot-high segmental arches and built 40 feet above the water, locals historically used it to transport Coniston and Tilberthwaite from the mines. Although the mine’s remnants have a long-lasting effect on the area’s ecosystem, they make a perfect tourism destination. UNESCO listed it as a historic site in 1967.
