Bed and Breakfast Duddon Valley Cumbria, UK

Description

Local History

The Duddon Valley is an ideal place for a relaxing break, unspoilt and perhaps the most idyllic corner of the Lake District. It lies between Coniston and Eskdale, with an impressive estuary at its foot and the high passes of Wrynose and Hardnott at the valley head.

North of Troutal Farm, as the valley narrows towards its head, the river moves quickly, tumbling over rocks worn smooth over time, with waterfalls and rapids interspersed with deep green pools. At Birks Bridge the hills tower to either side, embracing the river in a narrow gorge where on a quiet day the brown trout are clearly visible in the water below. Beyond stretches the glacial head of the valley where the buzzard soars, the Herdwick Sheep reigns and all human cares seem a million miles away.
