Not my choice. Our history is closer to our neighbours to the north despite the Welsh name origins - which are actually Cumbric I think. #cumbria #flag

It’s one of those simply stunning days in Kirkby Lonsdale today. This is Barbon Fell from the top of Mill Brow. #KirkbyLonsdale

Apparently I posted a copyrighted photo of a red squirrel in an earlier thread. So here’s a stock photo to allow me to make the point again that these little guys need our help in Cumbria #redsquirrel #cumbria

What are your favourite bridges? Here’s a starter. This is Priorsford Bridge over the Tweed at Peebles. For pedestrians only, paid for by public subscription and built by W. Inglis in 1905

Autumn at Ruskin’s View. One of my favourites, and a lift for the spirits every time.

Ruskin described the view (with typical Victorian certainty) as ‘one of the loveliest views in England, and therefore in the world’. It is indeed lovely.
