Pooley Bridge

One of my favourite trips in the Lake District is to take the boat on Ullswater from Glenridding up to Pooley Bridge then walk across the bridge and have lunch or afternoon tea in the outdoor café just over the bridge listening to the mallards squabbling in the river.
Took this photo in Pooley Bridge less than two months ago on a beautiful October day. So sad to hear that this beautiful 18th Century bridge has collapsed in the devastating floods in Cumbria.
A tranquil River Eamont taken from the bridge.
From the other side of the bridge the River Eamont flows into Ullswater.

Thank you very much for your comment. The flooding in Cumbria is so sad. The village of Glenridding where we boarded the boat for Pooley Bridge in October has now been overwhelmed by the floods for the second time. I don't live in Cumbria but over the years have had many happy holidays and short breaks in the Lake District. It is so beautiful, one of my favourite parts of Britain. We hope to visit again very soon.
