Devil's Bridge: The Bridges
Description
The myth of the Devil's bridge is that it was built for an old woman so that she could rescue her cows that had crossed the river and were trapped, the devil agreed to build the bridge on the condition he took the soul of the first thing to cross the bridge. The old lady sent her dog across first ensuring the devil only got a dogs soul. In reality the original bridge was built in the Medieval period by the local monks. When it was feared the original bridge was becoming unstable in the 18th century a second bridge was built on top of the original. This second bridge was subsequently replaced at the start of the 20th century leading to three stacked bridges all on top of each other. The bridges can be best viewed from the two tourist walks
