Welcome to Mosedale Beck

Mosedale Beck is a small river that flows through the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. The river originates from the slopes of Great End, a mountain in the Scafell range, and flows for approximately 5 miles before joining the River Derwent. The river is surrounded by stunning scenery, with steep hills and rocky outcrops on either side, making it a popular spot for walkers and hikers.

The river is also home to a variety of wildlife, including brown trout, otters, and kingfishers. The clear waters of Mosedale Beck provide an ideal habitat for these creatures, and visitors to the area can often spot them darting in and out of the water. The river is also surrounded by lush vegetation, including ferns, mosses, and wildflowers, which add to the natural beauty of the area.

Mosedale Beck is a peaceful and tranquil spot, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The river is easily accessible from the nearby village of Wasdale Head, and there are several walking routes that take visitors along the banks of the river. Whether you're a keen angler, a nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful spot to relax and unwind, Mosedale Beck is well worth a visit.
