As the Dunnerdale collection grows, it will be divided into a series of galleries, but
for now this page contains all of the thumbnail pictures. Click on any of the pictures
below to see a quick-loading, larger version, then use the Back Button of your browser to
return to this page. Alternatively, pressing the 'Full Size' button will open another
window with a full-screen version of the picture. This has the best on-screen quality (but
inferior to the printed print), but is slower to load. To order by post off-line, please see Ordering Information. Code DUN-01 The Bridge at Ulpha
Unframed mounted print: £10.99 (includes carriage) Framed mounted print: £21.99 (includes carriage) This was once a boundary crossing between Lancashire and Cumberland, and the River Duddon is typical here, changing from rushing shallows to deep silent pools within the space of a few yards. The grass on the river bank near to the former packhorse bridge is closely cropped by the sheep to a soft carpet, making this a very pleasant spot to linger on a sunny day. Code DUN-02 The River near Ulpha
Unframed mounted print: £10.99 (includes carriage) Framed mounted print: £21.99 (includes carriage) A stone stile on the 'Lancashire' side of the bridge provides access to a riverside path, where the river can be followed upstream for several hundred yards. There are many delightful stretches such as this one, where the waters tumble over moss-covered stones. Code DUN-03 Long Dub
Unframed mounted print: £10.99 (includes carriage) Framed mounted print: £21.99 (includes carriage) The riverside path from Ulpha can be followed as far as Long Dub, a deep pool beneath a sheer rock face. Here Wordsworth imagines a love-lorn maid who drowns after diving for the reflection of a primrose on the rock wall. Code DUN-04 The Sepulchre
Unframed mounted print: £10.99 (includes carriage) Framed mounted print: £21.99 (includes carriage) This little enclosure is a Quaker burial ground, and lies on the valley slopes beyond Birks Wood, above Ulpha. The lonely group of pines look over a magnificent aspect, with the massive crag of Wallowbarrow in the background to the right of the trees. Code DUN-05 Birks Bridge
Unframed mounted print: £10.99 (includes carriage) Framed mounted print: £21.99 (includes carriage) Another spot which inspired Wordsworth, who called it a 'sunless cleft'. On the far side of the bridge, upstream, the river is forced in a noisy torrent through a rock cleft barely two feet wide, but on this side flows into deep silent pools. Code DUN-06 The River below Birks Bridge
Unframed mounted print: £10.99 (includes carriage) Framed mounted print: £21.99 (includes carriage) A few hundred yards downstream from Birks Bridge, the Duddon starts to descend into a quarter-mile long gorge, surrounded by trees and bathed in dappled sunlight.
