Ashness Bridge
Ashness Bridge is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road (B5289) to Watendlath, in the English Lake District, Cumbria.[1][2]
The bridge is at grid reference NY270196, and is known for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw, including views of Derwent Water nearby.[3]
It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge[3] conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick.[4]
Near the bridge is a small cairn to Bob Graham, who ran a round of 42 Lakeland peaks in 1932 in under 24 hours, a record which was not equalled for 28 years.[citation needed]
The area is owned by the National Trust.[3]
