Heading south along the river Eden we pass Wharton Hall (16th century) Lammerside Castle (14th century).  Here we go up and pass under the Carlisle-Settle railway. This is the highest and most expensive line in the UK.

Under Breeching it was supposed to be closed but was saved by the then transport minister Michael Portillo.

We then head down Tommy road to reach Pendragon castle.

Now we cross the river and head to the village of Southwaite. Here we follow a path which takes us past Carr House and on to Scotch well and up the fell to Ridding House and then down Thringill Beck into Nateby and eventually Kirby Stephen (Possibly via Stenkrith park).
