Tips

January 29, 2020

Hiking

Beautiful little spot but the path between the bridge and the main road is prone to flooding (knee deep) .. worth taking into consideration especially if you’ve hiked around derwent water from Keswick.

Hiking

Wonderful views down towards Skiddaw (one way) and into Borrowdale (the other way)

Hiking

Beautiful bridge look out for the AA Mills quote on the first slab Christopher Robin thought that if he stood on the bottom rail of the bridge and leant over, and watched the river slipping slowly away beneath him, then he would suddenly know everything that there was to be known – A.A.Milne, “The House at Pooh Corner”1928
