River Greta in spate - Lake District National Park

Details
Published: 13 January 2026

River Greta in spate

The Greta is a formidable river as it enters its gorge upstream from Keswick. The K2T Keswick Railway Footpath follows the river downstream from Threlkeld. This is the view from Low Pearson’s Bridge with meltwater and a day’s rain fuelling the flow.
More than a few years since I first walked this route; now the Greta is a neighbour and I cross it and enjoy the varying moods of the river when I’m walking to the supermarket in Keswick.
