Duddon Valley

Valleys

The Duddon Valley, also called Dunnerdale, is a valley in the southern Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England, carrying the River Duddon from its source in the mountains between Eskdale and Langdale to the Irish Sea near Broughton-in-Furness. Its lower reaches are flanked by the Furness Fells and Harter Fell, and the valley is linked to neighboring dales by the steep mountain passes of Hardknott and Wrynose.
