On emerging from the woods, we arrive at Beggars Bridge.
Tom eventually became rich, and returned to marry Agnes. But after her death he remembered the difficulties he once had in his youth, crossing the swollen River Esk to meet his sweetheart. He, therefore, commissioned Beggars Bridge to be built as a memorial. From Beggars Bridge, we return to the village of Glaisdale, climbing steeply up to the main street and back to the starting point of our walk.
