Follow a ginnel (alleyway) from the main street for peace and quiet by the river Eden. Frank's Bridge is a pack horse bridge crossing the river to the route to the Nine Standards and Coast to Coast path. A good place to feed the ducks (grain better than bread) and sit awhile by the young river.

Lots of local footpaths and direct access to fell land. Watch out for Red Squirrels who live in this area in relative abundance. Birdlife of every kind - Curlews, avocets, owls, birds of prey - just keep your eyes and ears open. Please be considerate to local farm animals who may be grazing the fells and horse riders travelling past.

Fun things to do and places to go

A cross between a maze, gardens, folly, treasure hunt - fairly indescribable but wonderful. Great for families but ditch the pushchair. Lots of walking, steps, tunnels and madness done fabulously well. PRE-BOOKING required as numbers limited per day. At least a half-day required for full enjoyment.

Iconic rail line between Carlisle and Settle to Leeds. One of the most scenic in England. Travels over the Ribblehead Viaduct. Excellent service, often steam trains run excursions. Recently the Flying Scotsman and the new Tornado travelled here.
