The Mill at Holme Head
The Mill at Holme Head
The path rounding the corner of The Mill at Holme Head (now converted into apartments) beside Holme Head Weir (photograph NY3954 : Holme Head Weir, River Caldew) is the route of The Cumbria Way and the Caldew Cycleway (next photograph NY3954 : The Cumbria Way, The Mill at Holme Head).
The Environment Agency sign on the fenced enclosure states ‘Little Caldew Inlet Trash Screen (Holmehead) NY39800 54410’. The Little Caldew is supplied from the adjacent Holme Head Weir and is a 2km (1¼ mile) mill race that formerly served several mills in Carlisle before discharging back into the River Caldew at Willow Holme. The Grid Reference on the sign is inaccurate and would place the enclosure approximately 125m away on the other side of the River Caldew!
The Cumbria Way

A 119km (74 mile) long distance path from Ulverston to Carlisle, through the heart of the English Lake District.

Caldew Cycleway

The Caldew Cycleway is a 7.6km (4.7 mile) tarmacked mainly off road cycle route, starting from Carlisle Road in Dalston and following the River Caldew via Cummersdale Mills and Denton Holme to finish at the north end of the Viaduct Estate Road in Carlisle where it joins Castle Way.
The route forms part of National Cycle Network Routes 7 and 10, part of the cycleway is also the Caldew Riverside Trail in Carlisle, and much of the cycleway is followed by The Cumbria Way long distance footpath.
