Today our first stop is the village of Dearham, where two pubs are seen. First, the Commercial Inn.
There's also the Ploughman, but its future is bleak.
Nearby is the small coastal town of Maryport. Here's the first motor bus in 1908.
The harbour at Maryport.
The Grapes, in nearby Aspatria, was known for selling quality real ales. Now, its long term closed.
Another small port town is Silloth. Here's a general view, followed by a photo of the harbour.
The North British Railway had a branch line serving Silloth.
In 1964, a railtour visited Silloth, headed by Caledonian Railway 123 and GNoSR 'Gordon Highlander'.(Photos by Les Flint)
Just outside the town was a special platform serving Silloth Convalescence Home, seen in 1920.
Another halt on the Silloth branch was Black Dyke, photographed by Ben Brooksbank in 1961.
In July 1982, Richard Huggins visited the Cumberland Motor Services depot at Wigton and took these photos.
Up into the hills now and the village of Hesket Newmarket. The Old Crown Inn is on the right.
Even higher. Great Rigg and Fairfield from Heron Pike near Troutbeck.
Hagg Gill from The Tongue, near Troutbeck.
The hilltops above Troutbeck.
To the north end of Ullswater and the old bridge at Pooley Bridge. Built in 1764, it succumbed to floodwaters in 2015. It has since been replaced. (Creative Commons License).
The Crown Inn at Pooley Bridge. It has a Facebook page.
Nearby, the Sun Inn, owned by Jennings.
The 'Lady of the Lake' regularly takes passengers the length of Ullswater.
But we board the MV Raven at Pooley Bridge.
The rain really comes down near Howtown.
Yachting in the rain on Ullswater.
More inclement weather over the mountains.
Glenridding is the southernmost point of the boat trip on Ullswater. Ribble Motor Services provided onward transport in the 1980s.
