Footbridge over River Leven at Backbarrow
The River Leven is a fairly short river which drains from the southernmost point of Windermere and flows for approximately eight miles into the northern reaches of Morecambe Bay. The Leven is navigable upstream as far as Low Wood, and downstream from Windermere to Newby Bridge. The river's steep fall around Backbarrow allowed industrial use of the river for the ultramarine mill and also a small hydroelectric generator at Backbarrow ironworks.
