The River Brathay
The cottage is located on the banks of the river Brathay with its own private access and
fishing rights.
The river brathay rises at a point 1289 feet (393 m) above sea level near the Three
Shire Stone at the highest point of Wrynose Pass.
Its catchment area includes the northern flanks of Wetherlam, Great Carrs and
others of the Furness Fells, as well as a substantial area of the Langdale Fells.
The Brathay drains Elterwater and flows for about half a mile in a south-easterly
direction to Skelwith Force where it descends 15 feet, passes the cottage and then
under the A593 road at Skelwith Bridge. It then continues in an easterly direction,
to the hamlet of Clappersgate. After another quarter of a mile it joins the River Rothay close to Croft Lodge south-west of Ambleside before flowing into the northern end of Windermere.
The stretches of the Brathay around Clappersgate and Skelwith Force are popular with canoeists.
Skelwth Force is a popular attraction and is located just a few hundred yards from the cottage. It is most impressive after heavy rain.
