Redmayne Packhorse Bridge is in the village of Linton in Craven, near Grassington, on the west side of Upper Wharfedale, in the Yorkshire Dales, England. The village occupies an area of low lying ground sloping down to Linton Beck. The major traffic routes bypass the village and there is only one through road, the B6265, leaving the settlement itself peaceful. Linton is a pretty village centred around a large trapezium-shaped green. This bridge is In the centre of Linton by the village green. In the village there are 4 crossings over the beck - this foot bridge or packhorse bridge by the ford is constructed of gritstone. The main span is a single shallow arch and there is a smaller flood arch to the side. The bridge ostensibly dates from the late seventeenth century, though it is reputed to have been constructed in the fourteenth century by two local ladies to provide access to the church when Linton Beck was in flood. It is often known as ‘Redmayne Bridge’ after Elizabeth Redmayne who reputedly paid for repairs in the late 17th century.
