Don't think so, the bridge I've found there spans a wilder river and has a waterfall behind it, unless you've found another photo?

My first attempt on the WAI's  :D

Looks like the Yorkshire Dales to me - I wondered about Millthrop Bridge near Sedbergh?

Scroll down to the third and fourth pics; 'twin arches of Millthrop Bridge' and 'Crook from the banks of the River Rawthey'  for similar bridge construction and also a similar hill to the one in the photo.

One thing to notice is there are no coping stones on the bridge parapets in Cazza's photograph.

I thought someone would have found this by now  ;D   ;D
 
I think it is too far north for me to have any clue where it is.  ::)

I live up't north and am surrounded by beautiful country like this.
 It could be the River Lune valley, this river runs through my home city and on into the hills. There is also an area called the Forest of Bowland, sometimes known as the Trough of Bowland, where the Duke of Westminster has his country estate. The river meanders through hills like this and has little stone bridges but I can't find this one, yet. The nearby Lake District is full of rivers, hills and stone bridges and then there are the Yorkshire Dales as Barbara has mentioned.
It looks like a packhorse bridge and as if it could be my area, but I can't pin it down at the moment.

I'm rather tied up at present and can only offer a very quick thought on this. From growing up in the area, my gut feeling is that the hill behind looks a bit too rugged for many parts of the Yorkshire Dales, and where the hills are rugged like that it tends to be in the upper reaches of the valleys where the rivers are narrower. I may be wrong, of course, but my first thoughts on this would be the Lake District, or else somewhere in Scotland or Snowdonia.

A question that may be worth considering is that since photos were usually taken with the sun behind the camera, which direction is the river flowing?

Looking at this again does anyone else think that this is a side channel and behind the bridge the main channel is running either left/right or right/left across the picture?
