The drive up the steep, winding, narrow road through Hardknott and Wynose passes is often tricky and always a little frightening (especially when icy), but this adds to the experience, as the setting of the fort is spectacular and the scenery incredible. Not too far of a drive from studio.

There is a fascinating exhibition explaining the whole milling process and the workings of the unique wooden machinery. The mill may often be seen operating.

Has a long series of fantastic pools to swim through out the valley. Tongue Pot is more dramatic with high jumps possible. Higher up the valley there are many small pools, enjoyable walk up on a sunny day and dip in the water to cool off.
