Mill Strip, Cumberland is a woodland area located in the county of Cumberland, England. It is situated within the larger expanse of the Cumberland Forest, which is renowned for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Mill Strip is a specific section of this forest, characterized by its dense growth of tall, mature trees and lush undergrowth.

The woodland is primarily composed of various species of hardwood trees, including oak, beech, and maple. These towering trees provide ample shade and create a serene and tranquil atmosphere within the woodland. The forest floor is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and moss, adding to the overall picturesque quality of the area.

Mill Strip is intersected by a small stream, which flows gently through the woodland. The presence of water enhances the habitat and supports a diverse range of plant and animal life. The stream also adds to the aesthetic appeal of the area, creating a peaceful and soothing ambiance.

The woodland is home to a plethora of wildlife, including squirrels, rabbits, and numerous species of birds. Birdwatchers often visit Mill Strip, as it offers an opportunity to observe a variety of avian species in their natural habitat.

Mill Strip is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers, who are drawn to its serene and unspoiled beauty. The woodland provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the natural world and appreciate the wonders of the Cumberland Forest.

Mayburgh Henge, northern part with standing-stone, Yanwath and Eamont Bridge Mayburgh Henge consists of a single circular bank, up to 6.5 metres high, and 50m across its base, with a single entrance and enclosing a level area 90m dia. It contains a single monolith 2.8m high, one of eight that existed in the 18C, four in the centre and four at the entrance. The other seven were destroyed using gunpowder.  The henge probably dates from between 2000 and 1000BC, and may have been a meeting place or refuge for a large prehistoric community.
