The bridge is at grid reference NY270196, and is known for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw, including views of Derwent Water nearby.
It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick.
Near the bridge is a small cairn to Bob Graham, who ran a round of 42 Lakeland peaks in 1932 in under 24 hours, a record which was not equalled for 28 years.
The area is owned by the National Trust.
