Pooley Bridge, Cumbria

Pooley 'No Bridge', Pooley Bridge is by the River Eamont at the northern end of Lake Ullswater. The name Pooley Bridge is from a large pool in the River Eamont,”The Hill by the Pool”. The ‘Bridge’ part of the name was added in 1800. The 16th century bridge was built across the River Eamont, which flows from Ullswater to Eamont Bridge. It's hard to believe that such an old sturdy bridge can be washed away by extreme flood water in one night, cutting the village in half.
