This narrow street in Portinscale was formerly the A594 road linking west Cumberland with Penrith and the A6. Portinscale was bypassed and the A594 renumbered to become part of the A66 between Penrith and Cockermouth. The road is the route of The Cumbria Way long distance footpath (next photograph Image). The black and white building in the background is the Derwentwater Hotel; there is an Ordnance Survey cut benchmark on the near corner (photograph Image).
