Ford at Beckfoot Farm
Ford at Beckfoot Farm
This irish bridge ford on the Barbon Beck is found beside Beckfoot Farm close to Kirkby Lonsdale Golf Club. There is an impressive packhorse bridge adjacent to the ford.
Irish bridge :: SK8039

An irish bridge is a multi-culverted ford. At normal water levels the water-course passes through the culverts and under the road but at times of high water levels the watercourse passes over the road creating a true ford.
In common with french windows and english muffins irish bridge is not usually capitalised and that is the format I have used throughout.
