Editor's Notes
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.
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.
It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick.
