Coverdale: Nathwaite Bridge river crossing points

Filed under Brigantia, Brigantia England, Britain, Ford, Landscape Archaeology, New Sites, Regional Surveys

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.
