Devils Bridge drift dive meet there at 9am

This is a drift dive in River lune open to all Ocean divers and above. Max depth is around 6m but can't be dived after heavy rain in preceding week.

Devils Bridge – River Lune near J34, M6. N 54° 11.84' W 002° 35.46', Kirkby Lonsdale

Kirby Lonsdale where A683 meets A65 Devils Bridge should be visible on your left. A popular spot for families and bikers with a couple or three tea / coffee bars and public toilets.

Parking – free parking both sides of the bridge, easiest to park near public toilets if possible. The place does get busy.

Access – short walk down to shingle beach up stream of the old bridge itself.

Diving A Drift Dive in clear water- not a dive during times of flood! Consider water levels and flow. The current is strongest at the top of the beach. Enter the water and drift under the first bridge and look for fish in the cracks and under the large rocks. There is a large underwater bowl between the two bridges. The river shallows before the second bridge. Exit where entered or on beach between bridges. Spring and summer see migratory trout and salmon in the river as well as freshwater eels and sticklebacks
