The bridge is situated on a footpath and cycle path linking Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge, near Ambleside in Cumbria. The bridge spans the River Brathay, a short distance upstream from the Skelwith Force waterfall. The bridge was designed and built by specialist metalwork company Chris Brammall Ltd, who have also created some very fine bridge railings in Staveley and Sunderland. (The happy pontist)

The lake is fed by numerous streams including the beck from Scale Force. The River Cocker starts from here, flowing towards Cockermouth where it joins the River Derwent.
