River Brathay: Difference between revisions

The '''River Brathay''', synonymous with its meandering calms near [[Elter Water]], embarks on a journey from the fells to the east of [[Little Langdale]] to the popular shores of [[Windermere]] at [[Waterhead]], near [[Ambleside]]. The Brathay may not be ~~sizable~~ in length but what it lacks here, it makes up for in other ways, especially as it passes through some beautiful countryside, taking in the sights of valley, ~~lake~~, ford, weir and waterfall.

The '''River Brathay''', synonymous with its meandering calms near [[Elter Water]], embarks on a journey from the fells to the east of [[Little Langdale]] to the popular shores of [[Windermere]] at [[Waterhead]], near [[Ambleside]]. The Brathay may not be sizeable in length but what it lacks here, it makes up for in other ways, especially as it passes through some beautiful countryside, taking in the sights of valley, tarn, ford, weir and waterfall.

Most of the river’s length cannot be walked as there are limited paths that lie parallel to or near its banks. There are some sections at [[Colwith Force]], [[Elter Water]], [[Skelwith Force]] and [[Skelwith Bridge]] that offer relaxed, peaceful walking and, in particular, some interesting photographic opportunities. There are other paved sections of A593 and B5286 at [[Clappersgate]] but these can assault the senses with the humdrum of passing traffic. The quieter sections that are walkable are on well-maintained gravel paths.
