Pack Horse Bridge & waterfall - Added to Bridges in Craven, Yorkshire and the Humber

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Opened in 1675. Stainforth Bridge, is a 17th century, arched packhorse bridge over the River Ribble in Stainforth, North Yorkshire, England. The bridge was formerly on the main packhorse road between York and Lancaster. 100 yds away is a very nice little water fall and plunge pool suitable for swimming. Best avoiding summer as can get very busy. Autumn you may be lucky enough to see salmon leaping the falls. The bridge itself is owned by NT however I flew adjacent to waterfall.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 06/03/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

I was very lucky to find a spot right by the bridge (you can just see my car), otherwise there’s a cafe & tea room a couple of hundred yards away at Knight Stainforth.
