Ashness Bridge & Skiddaw - Lake District. Another image captured from a terrific sunset at one of the Lake District's most iconic attractions last week - Ashness Bridge. This packhorse bridge originally dates from the 18th century, but was later widened in the 20th century to make way for modern means of traffic. It is arguably one of the most visited, and most photographed, locations in the whole National Park. I loved the large and lush ferns on this bank of Ashness Gill so decided to make these the foreground focal point leading towards the bridge itself. The sunset light was really lovely; casting some wonderful warm tones on the foliage of the trees beyond. The majestic mountain of Skiddaw can also be seen looming in the distance. #ashnessgill #ashnessbridge #skiddaw #lakedistrictnationalpark #lakedistrictnpa #lakelandphoto #igerscumbria #visitthelakes #thelakelanders #fromlakelandwithlove #nationaltrust #unescoworldheritagesite #worldheritagesite #sunset #unesco #onelakedistrict #theplacetobe #rural_love #picturetokeep_nature #hikingthelakes (at Ashness Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CelByKnj_tm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
