(S/E) From Meadow Edge Road, Barepot, Workington CA14 1JW, turn left (south-west) to walk towards the entrance of the road and the big roundabout. Cross the roundabout either using the footpath below the road or on the road to access the other side of the A596 and take the path that follows the river Derwent. Continue straight on this path until you reach a bridge.
