Duddon Valley Road to Ulpha

Highlight • Trail

The Duddon Valley, described as "A Jewel in the Crown of Cumbria", is remote, unspoilt and perhaps the most idyllic valley of the Lake District.

Situated between Coniston and Eskdale, The Duddon Valley will delight walkers, mountain bikers, climbers, nature lovers and those who enjoy the peace and beauty of the countryside.

The tiny villages of Ulpha and Seathwaite are the two focal points of the valley each having their own church. Seathwaite, situated near the end of the ancient Walna Scar road to Coniston, boasts the 16th century, The Newfield Inn where good home-cooked food, real ales and a warm welcome await.
