The Duddon Valley

It's a tranquil remote wild region of the Lake District and Cumbria where walkers, climbers, cyclists and Nature lovers can roam and discover a sense of refreshment amid scenery which has changed little over the years. Through it flows the River Duddon which rises at the highest point of Wrynose Pass to begin a 15 mile journey to the Duddon Estuary and the sea.
Stretches of the clear waters are suitable for canoeing, salmon fishing, river bank picnics and even a “wild swim” on summer days.
