Rigg Beck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rigg Beck is a minor river of Cumbria in England.

Rigg Beck is also the name of a famous dwelling – the Purple House[1] – placed where the Beck crosses the Keskadale road, and which formed an excellent starting point for exploring the fells.[2]

Rigg Beck arises at the top of the high pass between Ard Crags and Causey Pike, of the latter of which it forms one boundary.[3] The beck flows eventually into Newlands Beck.[4]

The path alongside Rigg Beck forms an attractive pedestrian route between Newlands Valley and Buttermere.[5]
