Duddon Valley

The Duddon Valley is a true hidden gem of the Lake District. 
Situated between Eskdale and Coniston it is remote unspoilt and is a delight for walkers, nature lovers and cyclists. 
At the head of the valley is Cockley Beck where the two passes of Hardknott and Wrynose meet, a fantastic if hair raising drive!!
One of the best drives is from Ulpha over Birker Fell into Eskdale, the views are spectacular.
Unrivalled walking with amazing views, be it on the fells, woods or near the river. There are plenty of places to park up take a picnic and enjoy all the Duddon Valley has to offer.
