Hiking
Ashness Bridge is a much-loved beauty spot, perhaps one of the most photogenic packhorse bridges in Britain. The classic vista, replicated on countless chocolate boxes and tea towels, is that of the burbling stream passing below the bridge, backed by the might Skiddaw fells beyond Keswick. The area is also a good place to spot sparrowhawks and peregrines.
