Hunter’s Sty Bridge

The River Esk has a few single-arched bridges, but the best one is probably the Hunter's Sty Bridge. It's located at the bottom of Huntersty, the 'steep path of the hunters,' just past the northern end of Westerdale village.

Hunter's Sty Bridge was most likely built in the late 13th century to provide access to the Royal Forest of Pickering, although some believe t ...
