Slater's bridge
This is one of Lakeland’s ancient pedestrian bridges...Not far from the mystery summit.
Historically Little Langdale was at the intersection of packhorse routes... Slater's Bridge, which crosses the River Brathay in 3 spans supported by a large mid-stream boulder and stone causeways, is a 17th-century, slate-built, former packhorse bridge on one of these routes. Today metalled roads from Little Langdale lead west over Wrynose Pass and Hardknott towards Eskdale, northwest by Blea Tarn to Great Langdale, northeast to Elterwater and east to the Skelwith Bridge - Coniston road.
