Another fantastic winter adventure this time down in the South Lake and my favourite valley of Eskdale.
Eskdale is the valley, stretching from Gosforth, near Seascale on the West coast of Cumbria, through to the foot of Hard Knott pass, and contains the small villages of Santon Bridge, Boot and Eskdale Green.
Lingcove Bridge is a stunning packhorse bridge, in the heart of the Lake District. The walk up to it from the road takes about an hour, along the River Esk, with many beautiful cascades, and waterfalls.
Hard Knott is a fell in the English Lake District, at the head of Eskdale.
Hardknott Roman Fort is an archeological site, the remains of the Roman fort Mediobogdum, located on the western side of the Hardknott Pass in the county of Cumbria. The fort was built between 120 and 138 on a rocky spur, and was initially garrisoned by a detachment of the Cohors IV Delmatarum from the Dalmatian coast (in modern Croatia). It was abandoned around a decade later, then reoccupied circa 200 and remained in use for much of the next two centuries.
