Millennium Bridge Over River Eden

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Millennium Bridge was completed in 2002. It is 65 feet long and 42 feet above the raging River Eden below. It's a spectacular spot.

Pendragon Castle ruins

Highlight • Castle

This romantic ruin, set amongst the Vale of Mallerstang’s scenic beauty, has a rich history and many associated legends. Said to have once been the fortress of Uther Pendragon of Arthurian legend, the tale goes that Uther and 100 of his men were killed when Saxon invaders poisoned the well. Whether this is just fanciful fiction, we may never know.

What we do know is that a castle was built here in the late 12th century and came into the stewardship of the Clifford family. Raids by the Scots and a couple of fires ruined the fortress during the 16th century. Lady Anne Clifford oversaw renovations during the 17th century, but the castle fell into disuse once more after her death.

A fine rolling road with excellent views in all directions. Traffic is generally light, so there's only the wind to worry about!

Maulds Meaburn Climb

Highlight • Climb

The road from Maulds Meaburn at about 180m up to the B6260 on Maulds Meaburn Moor at 284m. So 100m of climbing in a bit less than 2km. Quite steep initially and flattens out towards the second half.
Good descent as well but watch out for the tight bends on the steepest section.
