Burnbanks


Burnbanks is a model village built to house the workers building the Haweswater dam in the 1930s. I walked from the village to the nearby bridge over Haweswater Beck.  It was very pleasant wandering amongst the bluebells in the dappled sunshine.






After walking amongst the bluebells, I reached Haweswater beck. 





The private grounds on the other side of the bridge are laid out as a Lord of the Ring themed nature walk, with a guide available from the house down the road.  I did not do the walk, but just took a couple of pictures of the bridge.
