The ancient Packhorse Bridge in the hamlet of Wycoller in Lancashire, North-West England. This bridge is one of three ancient bridges in the village and is believed to date from the 13th century (according to the museum located nearby). The village itself, which is now part of a Country Park has existed for more than 1000 years. The footpath across the bridge is deeply grooved (see next photo) caused by approximately 800 years of use and both arches are leaning slightly sideways. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

The packhorse bridge in the Pendle village of Wycoller. This bridge is one of three ancient bridges in Wycoller and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The footpath over this bridge has been eroded by centuries of use (mainly by clog-wearing hand-loom weavers in pre-industrial times) and is deeply grooved. Both arches are leaning slightly sideways as the result of many years of heavy use.
