The double pack horse bridge over the Derwent at Grange.

This bridge was built in 1675 to link Grange to the main road into Keswick. Travel in Borrowdale in those days could be problematic. Pack horse routes tended to avoid the soggy valley bottoms and kept to the mid heights on mountain tracks now gratefully used by fell walkers to get around.
