Armathwaite

Set on the western bank of the River Eden, the village has a particularly fine sandstone bridge from which there is a splendid view of Armathwaite Castle (private), the home of the Skelton family, one of whose forebears was Poet Laureate to Henry VIII. Close by is the Eden Valley Woollen Mill where visitors can see traditional looms rattling away, and browse through a huge range of knitwear produced from the finest wools and mohair. Also worth seeking out in Coombs Wood to the south is one of the Eden Benchmarks. Entitled Vista and created by Graeme Mitchison, this remarkable sculpture seems to make the Lazenby Sandstone flow into liquid shapes.
