epic swimspot. I wouldn't recommend jumping off the bridge, it's not quite deep enough. I have seen it done but don't try it yourself!

Stone Bridge Over the River Esk near Dalegarth

Highlight • Viewpoint

The River Esk flows through Eskdale. Lovely paths follow the banks, giving access to the river for paddling or just to enjoy the view. Bit rocky and rough but not far from the road and great fun for kids.

Lancelot Salkeld Porter Memorial at St Catherine’s Church

Well worth the detour down the track to the church of st Catherine's. Inside there's a font decorated with pagan marigold carvings, and the moving memorial at the door.
Don't miss the stepping stones, cross if you dare
