St Peter's Church, Great Asby

Highlight • Historical Site

This church dates back to Norman times, with some evidence of it being potentially Saxon prior to that, too. However, it was practically completely rebuilt in 1864-65.

The church has this "classic English church" feel as though it's straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. It is worth stopping here for a bit and have a rest in this peaceful place.

St Helen's Well and Great Asby Church

Highlight • Natural

Great Asby is a village about 5 miles (9 km) south of Appleby in the Eden district of Cumbria, England. It is part of the civil parish of Asby. The name comes from the Old Norse askr (as) and by (farm). The village church dedicated to Peter dates from 1863-66 and stands on a spot where a church must have stood since around 1160.
St. Helen's spring is famous for its healing properties. Until 1940, this source was the village's main water supply. Even in times of drought the spring never dried up. The area around the well was cleared and improved by villagers in 2008. The blue plate with the text in the local dialect and English testifies to this.

Rutter Force Waterfall

Highlight • Historical Site

An impressive waterfall on Hoff Beck, just upstream of an old mill (now self-catering accommodation). The mill was made for grinding corn, then converted to manufacture bobbins and finally a sawmill.
It's easily visible from the bridge.

Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Bench at Bridge End Farm

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a great place to sit for a while on a long walk. This bench, with Queen Elizabeth coronation plaque on it (Queen Elizabeth was crowned in 1953) is nicely tucked away from the road, with flowers planted around you for added effect. Sheep behind you in the field, lovely countryside views ahead, a place to put your backpack, peace and quiet - what more could a human want?
