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.

Hiking

Beautiful hike via the waterfall, farmland and woodlands. The last part of the hike is uphill on winding roads. It's tiring but the views at the top are spectacular! Some parts of the hike were boggy but most of it was gravel paths.
