Here in the Eden Valley we have lots of dog walking country, footpaths along the river, across the fields and of course the woods. Close to the river there isn't usually any stock to worry about, just the ducks to chase and of course sticks to be thrown.

So if you want somewhere to walk your dog in peace and quiet amongst beautiful countryside then the Eden Valley is ideal.

The Eden Valley - long views

Most people think of the Eden Valley as small roads, high hedges , forests and the river running through it.

But every so often you get these beautiful long views, often up to Cross fell and the Pennines and when the sun catches the land just right then it can be one of the most beautiful places you have ever been.

This picture is taken on the road past Coombes Wood running down to the Armathwaite/Ainstable cross roads.

Autumn in the Eden Valley

When the tourists leave and the Valley starts to quieten down then there is a special time for those left to see it.As the leaves start to turn to bronze the whole valley changes character and some of the colours are just so good you want to sit back in awe.

Just one of the reasons we love the Eden valley so much.
