The Howk

It's a tough life up here. We're heading off to get our hair cut and Breeze needs a walk, so we thought we'd pop her in the car and take her up to Caldbeck and have a quick walk up there before we get clipped. Caldbeck is a beautiful village and it always feels like a privilege to have our Doctors surgery and hairdressers in such a fabulous place. I guess not many folk walk somewhere like this from the hairdressers!
 
The Howk - or at least the start of it

The Fairy's Kettle. The only Limestone Gorge in the Lake District


The old Bobbin Mill on the banks of Whelpo Beck. Power for the mill came from a waterwheel said to be the largest in the country and second largest in the world, according to some reports,  at 3 feet wide, and a 42 feet diameter.

Breeze lets a bit of steam off as we walk back along Whelpo Beck
