Ashness Bridge

Ashness Bridge is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road (B5289) to Watendlath, in the English Lake District, Cumbria.[1][2]

The bridge is at grid reference Script error: No such module "Ordnance Survey coordinates"., and is known for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw, including views of Derwent Water nearby.[3]

It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge[3] conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick.[4]

Near the bridge is a small cairn to Bob Graham, who ran a round of 42 Lakeland peaks in 1932 in under 24 hours, a record which was not equalled for 28 years.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
