The Eden Way | Armathwaite to Wetheral | Hiking | River Walks
Today I caught the train from Carlisle to Armathwaite in the Eden Valley , and then walked the Eden Way section back along the river to Wetheral and then back home to Carlisle.
Along the way we see this beautiful quiet corner of cumbria nestled away in the Eden Valley.
I am hoping to complete this section by section with the aid of the train to get me to the start and end of this walk which follows the Settle to Carlisle railway.
PS My ankle held out with the help of Mr Ibuprofen !

WALK INFORMATION
The River Eden, Cumbria’s longest, and to many eyes, most beautiful river is about 78 miles in length from where it enters the Solway Firth to the north of Carlisle, to its source below Hugh Seat high on Black Fell Moss near the head of the Mallerstang valley, and runs in a generally south to north direction.
The walk, from sea to source, takes us southwards through the rich red sandstone farmland of the Vale of Eden past many picturesque villages and townships, most of which have strong historical associations. There are several ancient castles and churches gracing the landscape, all of which justify a visit, whilst time spent in exploring the alley-ways, market places, and shops of the country towns visited, will be found to be time very pleasantly spent.
Every village and settlement passed through, has its own charm and a wealth of history, and the walk in general is an ornithologists delight. The walk commences at Rockcliffe on the Solway, following the river upstream past the City of Carlisle, through the sleepy Vale of Eden and the villages of Wetheral, Armathwaite, Kirkoswald, Langwathby, and then the country towns of Appleby and Kirkby Stephen, before entering the wild and ruggedly scenic Mallerstang valley, where the ruined Pendragon castle was once home to Uther Pendragon, King Arthur’s father. From here the countryside changes dramatically to high hills and wild fells, and the walker must be suitably equipped and clothed for the changeable ground and weather conditions likely to be encountered in this area.
This walk commences in lush green pastures with easy walking alongside a slow-flowing river, and ends on a windswept fell at 688m. (2200ft.) above sea-level. Walk is approx 83 miles long.

I did this walk as part of my Lands End to John O'Groat walk, in 2018, I remember the trees blown down across the path, had to climb over the top end of them.

That was a nice river stroll Dave. Your Northern rivers always look wider for some reason. I think you caught the autumn coming into bloom so to speak. Maybe all the wet is one of the reasons for that hill slipping. Well, good going - very enjoyable. Mark

Sublime, not sure if walking that river or paddling appeals more, either way it'd be a pleasant trip.

Either Si but there are some tricky rapids further up the walk that could prove awkward. That’ll be on another vid as I slowly complete this section by section 👍🏻

I love travelling by train, especially as I hate driving - 'let the train take the strain' lol! Good to hear you ankle held up and that looked a real colorful way in the Autumn sunshine, apart from the fallen trees that is. Yep, doing 14.7 miles certainly gave your ankle a good test out, if it can do that, it can do anything! Cheers Alan

Cheers Alan , train travel its ideal for this walk . Ankle was fine however a little stiff today lol . It was a lovely autumnal day for it atb dave.
A lovely section of the Eden way Dave, the river and scenery looking its best in that autumn light. I remember the flooding, at the time I’d planned a camp on High cup Nick, there was a bus service for that part you showed that collapsed. Nice to see it all finished! Looks like your ankles on the mend, that was a fair distance to hike. Cheers Anthony 👍👍👍
