Wyth Burn is a small river that flows through the county of Cumbria in England. It is a tributary of the River Derwent and is approximately 10 miles long. The river rises in the hills above the village of Wythop and flows through the beautiful Wythop Woods before joining the River Derwent near the town of Cockermouth.
The Wythop Woods are a popular destination for walkers and nature lovers. The woods are home to a variety of wildlife, including red squirrels, roe deer, and a wide range of bird species. The river itself is also home to a number of fish species, including brown trout and grayling, making it a popular spot for anglers.
The area around Wyth Burn is steeped in history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Neolithic period. The nearby village of Wythop has a 12th-century church, and the ruins of a 14th-century castle can be found in the nearby town of Cockermouth. The river and surrounding countryside have inspired many artists and writers over the years, including William Wordsworth, who wrote about the area in his poem "The Prelude."
