River Eden

After a very wet morning it cleared up late morning which is what I was hoping it would do as I was in Carlisle and had Bonnie with me. We went to Rickerby Park which is very popular with dog walkers and she met lots of dogs but all she was interested in was the ball!!

This is the River Eden which is entirely Cumbrian and is one of the few large rivers in England that flows northwards. The source of the river is on the high limestone fells above Mallerstang Common, near the North Yorkshire border, and makes its way across eastern Cumbria, with the hills of the North Pennines to the East, and the fells of the Lake District to the west, to Carlisle. Here it merges with other rivers to form the great Solway Firth estuary, before reaching the open sea, 90 miles (145 km) from its source. Got that bit from internet!
