Nathwaite Bridge, over the river Cover in Coverdale, is just about the only way any heavy traffic can easily cross between the key villages of Carlton and West Scrafton. The importance of the location is perhaps underlined as the last place down the river Cover where it remains reasonably ford-able, and therefore crossable in past times when no closer bridge existed.

Coverdale never possessed the thick, profitable seams that powered the great Yorkshire coalfield; instead it sat on the very feather-edge of the Yoredale Series where thin coal bands (18 – 50 cm) lie between the well-known limestone, sandstone and shale rhythms.
