Ashness Bridge is one of the most photographed spots in the Lake District, offering a stunning view of Derwentwater and Skiddaw. To get there, take the B5289 from Keswick towards Borrowdale, then turn left onto the steep, narrow road signposted for Ashness Bridge and Surprise View. Built in the 18th century for packhorses, the bridge has stood the test of time, even appearing in paintings by renowned artists like J.M.W. Turner. Just a short drive further up, Surprise View offers a breathtaking panoramic lookout over the lake.
