And there are no fells like that next to the bridge at Sedbergh.

I had a look at Tarf, but there are too many bolders in the bedrock.

Jen, sorry I don't think so, too many rocks and no hill.
I do think this is a single arch bridge but with a little arch to the side. Here is today's bit of useless information - 'bridges sometimes had arches cut into their side supports to take away flood water to prevent the bridge from collapsing.' The old bridge in Lancaster has smaller decorative arches on each support, for this reason. This could probably mean that the water that bridge is over is sometimes quite fast flowing.
I have been on the Pennine way, Dentdale, Lune valley and so many other rivers, without leaving my chair, I have seen bridges like this many times, but each one is not quite right. It must be a stock design.
