Spanning Time
Spanning Time - 'Duck' Bridge, Danby.
Danby Castle Bridge built in 1396, was largely rebuilt in 1717 by George Duck of Danby. The carving at the centre of the bridge is the Neville coat of arms, who’s family owned the manor of Danby in the 15th century. The bridge is a fine example of a humpbacked Packhorse bridge, built with a high arch to cope with high river levels from draining rivers on the moors.
