Ashness Bridge

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. It is at Grid Reference NY270196, and is famous for being a fine viewpoint [http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/looknorthnecumbria/weather/calendar_competition/february/images/ashness_bridge_470.jpg] across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw.

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.
