Lady Annes Highway
Mallerstang to Cotterdale on an old high level “Highway” The route was replaced in the 1820's when the B6259 was completed in the valley floor. The track dates back at least two thousand years, and probably much longer, (You can really feel the history whilst enjoying the views) but it is known as Lady Anne’s Highway because Anne Clifford (Countess of Pembroke) travelled along it when she visited her castles which she restored at Skipton, Pendragon, Appleby, Brough and Brougham. She also built and restored churches and almshouses – all this between the ages of 60 and 86. After the first rise is a sculpture by Mary Bourne entitled Water Cut.
