During the medieval period, the traffic to and from Furness must have been fast and furious, with Bow Bridge carrying a steady stream of pedestrians and pack-horses laden with corn, malt, salt and other goods. The bridge may have been constructed specifically to link the abbey with the nearby New Mill, but its position on one of the most important medieval trading routes in north-west England must surely be of even greater significance.

August 21, 2012by ConnectCumbria

There has been an established packhorse route running through Barrow-in-Furness since the Middle Ages, and Bow Bridge was constructed to help aid the effective flow of traffic across Mill Beck to the nearby Furness Abbey.
