Everything about The Duddon Valley totally explained
The
Duddon Valley is a valley in the
Lake District National Park in
Cumbria,
England. The
River Duddon flows through the valley, rising in the mountains between
Eskdale and
Langdale, before flowing into the
Irish Sea near
Broughton in Furness. In its lower reaches it's bounded by the
Furness Fells and
Harter Fell.
The part of the valley near the village of
Ulpha is marked as "Dunnerdale" on
Ordnance Survey maps, and upstream towards the village of
Seathwaite is Hall Dunnerdale. The name "Dunnerdale" is often used as a synonym for "Duddon Valley", but many people, including
Alfred Wainwright, prefer the name "Duddon Valley" and consider that Dunnerdale as a valley is properly the small valley above
Broughton Mills that contains Dunnerdale Beck. It is this tributary valley that has given its name to the "Dunnerdale Fells", which are between Broughton Mills and the main Duddon Valley, and to the parish "Dunnerdale with Seathwaite", which includes the valley of Dunnerdale Beck as well as the main length of the
River Duddon. Interestingly, advertisements for holiday cottages at Hall Dunnerdale describe the cottages as being "in the Duddon Valley".
From the top of the valley, steep motor roads lead west over the
Hardknott Pass to Eskdale and east over the
Wrynose Pass to the Langdale valleys. A less steep pass to Eskdale over
Birker Fell leaves the valley at Ulpha, with extensive views of the
Scafell range.
