Thanks Cudz. I thought we might just rebel a bit and skip on 20 bridges to the lovely lush pastoral limestone country around Farleton. Change of scenery, and all that. So, here's 155, Dukes Bridge, below Farleton Knott:

The building just over the bridge used to be the Duke of Cumberland inn, hence the name. Speaking of rebellion, and depending on your Jacobite tendencies, I suppose it could equally well be Butchers Bridge.

The old stables here by the bridge were a staging post for the horses for the express (10mph) Preston-Kendal boat

156, Farleton Turnpike Bridge:

Hodgson's Bridge, 157, a mere furlong upstream from 156:

If Bill does the whole canal network it could well be "Too Much Funky Bridgeness" (apologies to C. Berry).

I was thinking mre that if we can see #161 from #159, then #160 should be in the middle, which it ain't

All together: Oh, yes it is. 160, Farleton Aqueduct, in the running for smallest aqueduct in the world,

Canal up top, Farleton Beck passing underneath. Blink while you're walking along the towpath and you'll miss it

So the canal runs OVER the beck?

Dull bridge in a nice spot. On the road which links Glenshee to Glen Isla.

Finally, after all the build-up, 161: Dovehouses Bridge

I know! Exciting, innit? In a calm, tranquil canal-y kinda way

A small selection of the bridges seen last week on my 5 nations ride along the French border from Dunkerque to Basel:

Canal de la Deûle, near Deûlémont (Nord)

Citadelle, Lille (Nord) - one of many Vauban fortifications en route

Rocroi (Ardennes) - Vauban again

Viaduc de Piedmont, Piedmont (Meurthe-et-Moselle)

A13 motorway near Schifflange, Luxembourg

Pont de l'Amitié, looking across the Sarre from Kleinblittersdorf (Germany) to Grosbliederstroff (Moselle)

Post-war superstructure on pre-war foundations, Sarreguemines (Moselle)

Rheinbrücke Wintersdorf / Pont de Beinheim (Bas-Rhin). Former railway bridge, rebuilt after WW2 to carry road traffic (but with rail tracks still in place in the bridge deck)

Passerelle des Deux Rives, Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) to Kehl (Germany)

Canal du Rhône au Rhin over l’Ill (river) near Plobsheim (Bas-Rhin)

Canal du Rhône au Rhin near Erstein (Bas-Rhin)

Canal du Rhône au Rhin near Niffer (Haut-Rhin)

Passerelle des Trois Pays, Huningue (Haut-Rhin) to Weil am Rhein (Germany)

Mittlere Brücke, Basel (Switzerland)

Holme Bridge, Ravensworth. Next to Waitlands Lane, which probably used to run over the bridge. Now it's just a wee side-road.

The inglorious all-but dead end that is 162, Moss End culvert under the A65:

At least there's a foot tunnel for the towpath, unlike the M6 culverts:
