STREAM INVITES US TO FOLLOW: EXPLORING THE EDEN

As a long-time countryside manager for the Eden Valley, few people know this area quite as intimately as Dick Capel, who takes us on a series of introspective rambles from the source of the river in Mallerstang to the Solway Firth at Carlisle. Along the way through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we learn about the Andy Goldsworthy sheepfolds and the Poetry Path, the historic Nine Standards monuments with their uncertain origin, and myths and legends as well as history from Lady Anne Clifford to the Vikings, Romans, and the ancient standing stones found en route.
