  The River Eden, Cumbria
The Eden Valley is green and fertile but in medieval times the valley was vulnerable to Scottish raids, and the number of pele towers and castles in the area are testament to a turbulent and often violent past.
The Eden's source is hidden away, 2198 ft (670m) above sea level, in the moorlands above the Mallerstang Valley, between Wild Boar Fell to the west, and Black Fell Moss to the east.
The Eden then continues under a canopy of foliage to the attractive village of Armathwaite, the only community on the river in the twelve miles between Kirkoswald and Wetheral.
