The Birker Fell road that connects Ulpha and Eskdale offers a stunning wide open landscape of surrounding fells and is great for a scenic drive or cycling. A bonus to this road is the "open air café", The Crosby Cake Cupboard. You can sit next to the lovely stream and enjoy the homemade goodies from many choices including cakes, sandwiches and proper coffee and tea!☕ It's one of our favourite fuel spots in The Lakes. 😊

Eskdale Valley is one of the Lake District’s hidden beauty spots, with a variety of walking routes suitable for all ages and abilities. The peaceful riverside walk through lush green scenery to Stanley Falls is especially popular.

Hello lovely people!
This was filmed a couple of weeks ago - the rhododendrons may have faded now, but this garden view was too lovely not to share.💚
With the recent rain, the fells started greening up beautifully again, bringing that fresh early-summer feeling to the landscape.

No colourful flowers here… but plenty of new life!
Out on the fell, we were on our annual check at one of the (probably toads) spawning spots - these clusters are already well ahead, with tiny tadpoles wriggling away. Many others (not in the photo) won’t be far behind.

A quiet but unmistakable sign of spring🌱, just in time for Easter.😊
