When Shirley and I recce'd this walk it was a glorious day and the views were stunning and well worth the ½ mile ascent and there is plenty of time to take in the scenery and there are no stiles!!
The path then becomes a pleasant track as it makes its undulating way to High Sweden Bridge.
Our lunch stop here is beside the babbling stream with the parapet-less bridge spanning Scandale Beck.
Sweden Bridge acquired its name from the nearby Sweden Crag and in this instance is derived from an old Norse word Svfthinn meaning ‘land cleared by burning’
