In the middle distance the River Eamont brings clear Lake District water Eastwards into the River Eden. the road crosses the S and C on a fine red sandstone bridge and then runs parallel with it for the remaining two miles to Langwathby.

Langwathby Station closed to passengers on 4th may 1970, having been unstaffed since 1967. Fortunately, along with other secondary stations on the line, it re-opened in 1986. The station buildings at Langwathby have been converted into a restaurant, called the "Brief Encounter".

It sound a little corny and the original location from the film of the same name is the dilaphidated Carnforth station on the West Coast Main Line but the conversion has been done to a high standard and the railway associations have been carefully retained.
