Most-photographed packhorse bridge, Skiddaw beyond.
Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.
Ashness Bridge is a little stone packhorse bridge on the single-track lane up to Watendlath, and probably the most photographed bridge in the Lakes. The classic shot looks over it to Derwentwater with Skiddaw rising behind. There’s a small parking pull-in just above it, though the lane is narrow and busy in summer. Carry on up the same road and you reach Surprise View a little further on.
