Welcome to Godrill Beck

Godrill Beck is a small river that flows through the county of Cumbria in England. It is a tributary of the River Lune and is approximately 10 miles long. The river rises in the hills above the village of Sedbergh and flows through the picturesque valley of Dentdale before joining the River Lune near the village of Kirkby Lonsdale.

The river is popular with anglers and is known for its brown trout and grayling fishing. The upper reaches of the river are particularly good for fly fishing, while the lower reaches are better suited to bait fishing. The river is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and dippers.

The surrounding area is also popular with walkers and hikers, with many footpaths and trails running alongside the river. The river is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and stunning views. The nearby village of Dent is a popular destination for visitors, with its cobbled streets, traditional pubs, and historic buildings. Overall, Godrill Beck is a beautiful and tranquil part of Cumbria, offering visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
