The River Duddon flows through some of the most beautiful, remote and least-visited areas of the Lake District National Park. Narrow lanes and difficult access to major roads make the Duddon Valley one of the most unspoilt areas of the National Park.

Wasdale is remote, tranquil, and a truly beautiful valley in the western Lake District National Park in Cumbria in north-west England. The name came from old Norse word Vatnsdalr, meaning "valley of the water".
