More about this scene

The tiny hump-backed bridge at Ashness on the narrow road which leads up from the eastern shore of Derwent Water to the Norse hamlet of Watendlath has been seen on countless Lake District calendars, but this must be one of the earliest photographs. The bold profile of Skiddaw fills the background across the lake.
