Cross the bridge from the centre of Cockermouth to the north side of the town to walk the trails along the river bank. This river (and the River Cocker which also runs through the town) burst their banks in 2009, with flood water rising to 8ft deep through town, devastating homes and local businesses.

This is the only road bridge crossing the River Derwent in Cockermouth.
This bridge, known as Gote Bridge and built in 1822 carries the A5086 between Cockermouth and Papcastle. It survived the three recent floods in The town.
There is also one footbridge just 200m upstream.
