The Lake District is a truly beautiful place and, no matter what the weather, it is always able to surprise you. Sometimes though, in order to get the best shot, you have to take off your shoes and socks and enjoy the freedom of nature.
Just down the river from Bewdley, towards Arley, is the Dowles bridge which is an old, part-dismantled railway bridge which remains like a monument to the local history or the area.
