The River Hodder looking south from Burholme Bridge
Hodder Bank Fell . . .
where Luna can finally run off lead . . .
and the stone posts guide the way across
Giddy Bridge
Newton Bridge takes the road . . .
past The Parkers Arms where the group often had Christmas Dinner
An industrial looking footpath crosses the River Hodder . . .
and was built in 1882
Langden Brook joins the River Hodder . . .
and we can just see Langden Bridge which takes traffic into Dunsop Bridge
A curlew must have a nest neaby
Finally back to Burholme Bridge
