Bridge 2: Cross Haweswater Beck and follow the footpath towards Bampton
This path goes along the beck and then leaves it to reach the (Bampton - Haweswater) road. Turn right onto the road, soon passing the Mardale public house - which we hope will re-open under a community ownership scheme during 2022.
Bridge 3: Cross Howes Beck and you arrive at the Bampton Post Office, where you can stop for a hot drink and a snack or lunch.
