Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, UK, 4 March, 2006

The mediæval bridge across the River Lune is probably the main landmark of Kirkby Lonsdale and is now a scheduled ancient monument. It was built in about 1370 using fine gritstone, with three ribbed arches linking hexagonal piers.
The name comes from a legend suspiciously familiar to anyone who's visited other bridges by the same name. Apparently, Satan offered to build a bridge for an old woman in exchange for the first soul to cross it. The woman sent her dog across first, cheating the Devil.
