Scandale Beck arises in Lake District National Park, in England, on Bakestones Moss, west of Kirkstone Pass, Cumbria, and flows south for much of its length of six and a half kilometers.
It flows under High Sweden Bridge,[1] a 17th-century packhorse bridge, past High Sweden Coppice and Low Sweden Coppice, before turning west for a short distance north of Papermill Coppice, and turning south to join the River Rothay east of Ambleside. The Rothay flows only a short distance south before emptying into Windermere, the largest natural lake in England.[2]
