Ivelet Bridge

Ivelet Bridge is a historic structure in Ivelet, a hamlet in North Yorkshire, in England. The packhorse bridge over the River Swale was constructed in the late 16th century. Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "the most romantic of the Swaledale bridges. One arch, rising very high and never widened". It was grade II* listed in 1966. The bridge was damaged by a vehicle in 2012, but was repaired ahead of the 2014 Tour de France passing nearby. The bridge is built of rubble, and consists of a single semicircular arch of voussoirs, surmounted by smaller stones forming a hood mould. The parapets have segmental coping, and they curve round at the northeast corner. Immediately to its northeast is a separately listed Mediaeval stone slab, said to have been used to rest coffins being transported to the Church of St Andrew, Grinton.

Kisdon Force

Kisdon Force is a series of waterfalls on the River Swale in Swaledale, England. The falls are situated within the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the county of North Yorkshire, 500 metres downstream from the small hamlet of Keld at grid reference NY898010. Kisdon Force is one of several waterfalls on the Swale in the Keld area: the others are East Gill Force, Catrake Force and Wain Wath Force. All occur where the river cuts a gorge through the Carboniferous Limestone between the hills of Kisdon and Rogan's Seat. The falls in this area are termed "forces" after the Norse word fors or foss, which means "waterfall". Both upper and lower Kisdon Force can be negotiated by canoeists, although a high degree of skill and experience is needed. The upper falls are rated Grade IV whilst the lower falls are rated more difficult at Grade V. The falls drop 10 metres (33 ft) over two cascades and are surrounded by Kisdon Force Woods, a Site of Special Scientific Interest covering an area of 38 hectares, which consists of mixed broad-leaved woodland with ash, wych elm and rowan dominating. In the spring, primroses grow profusely in the area. The falls can be easily visited by a riverside path from Keld. However, care should be taken since the stones around the falls are often wet and slippery. Visitor numbers to the falls are swollen by walkers along the Pennine Way, a long-distance footpath that passes the falls.
