Seatoller to Grange
Autumn in the Lake Districts Ancient Rain Forest Borrowdale...
The valley rises in the central Lake District, and runs north carrying the River Derwent into the lake of Derwentwater. The waters of the river have their origins over a wide area of the central massif of the Lake District north of Esk Hause and Stake Pass. These origins include drains from the northern end of Scafell, Great End, the eastern side of the Dale Head massif, the western part of the Central Fells and all the Glaramara ridge. Near Rosthwaite the side valley of Langstrath joins the main valley from Seathwaite before the combined waters negotiate the narrow gap known as the Jaws of Borrowdale. Here it is flanked by the rocky crags of Castle Crag and Grange Fell. The valley then opens out around Grange before the river empties into Derwentwater, overlooked by Catbells, Skiddaw and Walla Crag.
Most of the mountains at the head of Borrowdale, including Scafell Pike and Great Gable, are part of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, a geological development from the Ordovician period.
The B5289 road runs down the full length of the valley, and at the southern end crosses the Honister Pass to Buttermere. At the heart of the valley is the village of Rosthwaite, other Borrowdale villages include Stonethwaite, Seatoller, Seathwaite, and Grange.

Hey Andy, a seriously wonderful film and walks, stunning, in a beautiful area. Yes we have the bagger vids which I enjoy but this just shows off another side of the Lakes which is just beautiful with all the Autumn colours and quieter routes, loved it. Really well filmed, drone footage, knowledge and narration, everything we know you for and all the things I usually say about your films. Stunning views and walks without going high and yet the views and surroundings are breathtaking. Top film mate, different level. Take care

[@RockStar67]

Thank you so much Steve as always very much appreciated... I'm flabbergasted at the response I've had from this video over a thousand views in its first two days and still going up 👌🏻 It was two great la'al relaxing walks with Tracey and Billy...best time of year to showcase The Borrowdale Valley. Take care Mate thanks again ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐

[@davidburgess9058]

Ah beautiful Borrowdale. One of my favourite places on earth. You're so blessed to have it right there on your doorstep. Great video and breathtaking drone footage. Makes for a great half hour. Really enjoyed it. Say hello to Tracy and of course Billy THE ROCKSTAR!

[@RockStar67]

Thanks as always David....Borrowdale is a fantastic valley and one we often visit on wet days... that la'al pool I highlighted is like a natural jacuzzi on a hot summers day fantastic! ... have a great weekend mate. ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐

[@mrnobodieswildcampingadventure]

My ears picked up when I heard Derwent river, Lake District! As I hike in the Peak District the Derwent Valley. Clearly knowing these are two Derwent's, I thought to myself what does Derwent actually mean. A little digging and apparently it derives from the Brythonic (a group of Celtic languages i.e. Welsh, Cornish and Breton) term Derventio, meaning "valley thick with oaks". Great video yet again Andrew, thankyou for sharing!

[@RockStar67]

Thanks as always for watching buddy and for the info I like watching the Peak District vlogs there's some lovely Valleys and Hills I've been that way a few times but tend to head North if I'm up for a bit of travelling. 😊👍🏻 Take care my friend ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐

[@tonypilki3]
