Walk from Rosthwaite to Watendlath [39]
A plaque on the side of Caffle House. It reads: "Watendlath. Once owned by the monks of Fountains Abbey the hamlet sits high between the Borrowdale and Thirlmere Valleys. The name came from the old Norse 'vatn-endhi-hlada' water end barn. Watendlath Beck is the source of the Lodore Falls. Fold End Farmhouse, fictional home of Judith Paris in Sir Hugh Walpole's Herries saga of four novels published in the early 1930s, is a fine example of a traditional 'longhouse' with domestic and farm buildings in a single block."
