House in gorge of River Derwent
To the west of Castleside the River Derwent flows in a remarkable series of incised meanders; this house lies among them, north of a footbridge across the flow.

Lead Mill
This is a small farmhouse with no visible evidence of its prior association with lead processing although it may have been associated with the nearby Silvertongue Mine.
https://www.nmrs.org.uk/assets/pdf/BM48/BM48-93-103-crooked.pdf gives details but is inconclusive in my view as to whether the building housed the mill from which it derives its name.

This cottage is in an idyllic spot beside the river in Muggleswick Woods, although rather isolated. View taken from the rough access road which runs down through the woods from Crooked Oak farm.

Lime kiln at Lead Mill, Muggleswick ? 1
Two-draw kiln in a poor state of repair. The kiln is on private land at the back of Lead Mill and was photographed with permission. I was told that the right hand draw arch had collapsed since they moved into the premises about 10 years earlier. Listed Grade II.

Leadmill footbridge
This consists of a narrow concrete beam crossing quite high above the River Derwent. It may originated as a quarrymen's/miners' path. Consistently mapped as Leadmill Bridge although the small farmstead is named Lead Mill.

Leadmill footbridge
This crosses quite high above the River Derwent, not so much to be clear of floodwaters as to find a suitable abutment on the steep side of the gorge.

River Derwent at Lead Mill, Muggleswick
The woodland is part of the Derwent Gorge and Muggleswick Woods National Nature Reserve. At this time of year it is doubtful if the sun ever gets onto this stretch of the river.
