Egton Bridge

Egton Bridge

Egton Bridge is a village in the English county of North Yorkshire. It lies on the River Esk, between the villages of Glaisdale and Grosmont, about six miles south-west of Whitby, and on the route of the Esk Valley Walk.

The stone bridge that crosses the Esk was rebuilt in 1992, having been destroyed by flood in the 1930s.

Amenities

The village is served by Egton railway station, on the Esk Valley Line, which also serves the nearby village of Egton.

There are two inns in the village: the Horseshoe Hotel and the Postgate Inn.

The Roman Catholic Church of St Hedda's is located in the village. It contains the relics of Nicholas Postgate, a martyr executed in 1679, for continuing to practise his faith. A primary school is attached to the church, the only Roman Catholic church in the rural area outside Whitby.
