"A Walk Along The River Brathay And... ??"

I have lost count over the number of times I have enjoyed the gentle, easy walk beside the River Brathay near Elterwater. The river itself rises high in the fells near Wrynose Pass and gathers streams from the Langdale mountains before flowing into Elterwater and onward toward Windermere. Its name comes from Old Norse, meaning “broad river,” a reminder that the Vikings once left their mark on the landscape and language of Cumbria. It’s a pleasure to stroll along the banks with my camera in hand, the kit on my back and ‘take what comes.’ The way I like to work! Many use it as it’s a linear walk and it is up to you as to where you start. Some begin at the village of Elterwater itself and turn at Skelwith Fold after a coffee and cake at Chesters By The River. Whilst the preferred route seems to be from the Fold to Elterwater, stopping for a drink and lunch at the local pub before returning to Skelwith sees many visitors on good winter days and throughout summer making the trip. For centuries this valley has drawn travellers, artists, writers and photographers who were captivated by this landscape. The village itself has a layered past. In the nineteenth century Elterwater grew through quarrying and gunpowder production. Slate from the surrounding hills and explosives from the Langdale gunpowder works helped supply the region’s industries and building trades. Though those industries have faded, traces remain in old buildings, stone walls, and fragments of industrial archaeology hidden among the trees. Yet the valley’s more unusual history is tied to modern art and a secret that many who walk around here are not aware of. Not far from the river stands the humble stone structure known as the Merz Barn, created by the German artist Kurt Schwitters in the late 1940s. I have added a number of links here for you to explore the work and times of this extraordinary man who will be forever linked to ‘gateway to the Langdales.’ I hope you enjoy this video on my @MovingStills Channel https://www.moma.org/explore/inside_o... https://www.northeastmuseums.org.uk/h... https://factumfoundation.org/our-proj... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Sc... https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/ar... https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/k...
