THE LAKE DISTRICT

Lakes & mountain scenes from England's Lake District National Park

 

WATENDLATH

The Lake District is one of my favourite places on the planet to visit and one of the jewels in the crown is Watendlath, which is a tiny hamlet sitting in a hanging valley between Buttermere & Thirlmere valleys.
This is a view of the picturesque pack horse bridge, with Watendlath Tarn in the background, which spans Watendlath Beck and is the source of Lodore falls.

ASHNESS BRIDGE

Ashness Bridge is possibly the most photographed packhorse bridge in the Lake District, Cumbria. It is an extremely popular viewpoint with extensive views over Derwent Water, Brasenthwaite Lake and the River Derwent.
