The designs for the new footbridge at RHS Harlow Carr as submitted to Harrogate Borough Council.
RHS Harlow Carr has lodged plans for a new footbridge in its gardens.
The application submitted to Harrogate Borough Council would see the wooden bridge cross over Queen Mother’s Lake.
It forms part of proposals to improve the visitor experience at the attraction.
Liz Thwaite, head of site, said:
“The new bridge is part of our overall masterplan for the RHS Harlow Carr site, and will improve the flow of people and the overall visitor experience.
“It has been made possible through a generous donation, which we will release more information about in due course.”
The gently curved bridge would be built at the south of the gardens, near to Otley Road.

According to planning documents, the bridge would be three metres wide so that there is space for people to pass on foot, in wheelchairs or with prams and scooters.
The path at the south of the gardens would also be realigned towards the bridge as part of the wider masterplan.
A decision on the planning application will be made at a later date.
