Vale of Eden
The Vale of Eden is formed by the course of the
Pennine Range. It lies entirely within the county of Cumbria. The river has its source in the peat bogs below Hugh Seat, in the dale of Mallerstang.54°23′17″N 2°17′38″W / 54.388°N 2.294°W
At first it heads off south (as Hellgill Beck) before turning back north for the rest of its course – except just before its outlet into the sea which it enters from the east.
The Eden passes through the market towns of
Atlantic side of the country.[1]
The whole area is gentle and pastoral, undulating and attractive but with bleak, barren and impressive hills on either side.
