Welcome to Helwith Bridge

Helwith Bridge is a small village located in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. The village is situated on the River Ribble and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Helwith Bridge is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the stunning scenery and outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and fishing.

One of the main attractions in Helwith Bridge is the Helwith Bridge Inn, a traditional pub that has been serving locals and visitors for over 200 years. The pub is known for its warm and friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and selection of local ales. The Helwith Bridge Inn is also a popular spot for walkers and cyclists who stop by for a refreshing drink and a bite to eat.

Another popular attraction in Helwith Bridge is the Ribblehead Viaduct, a magnificent structure that spans the valley of the River Ribble. The viaduct was built in the 19th century as part of the Settle-Carlisle railway line and is now a popular spot for photographers and sightseers. The viaduct is also a starting point for many walks in the area, including the famous Three Peaks Challenge, which involves climbing the three highest peaks in Yorkshire in one day.
