Swindale Beck

Swindale Beck is a stream in Cumbria, England. It is formed at Swindale Head where Mosedale Beck, from the slopes of Tarn Crag, joins Hobgrumble Beck from Selside Pike. The stream flows north-east along Swindale and joins the River Lowther near Rosgill between Shap and Bampton. Its waters then flow via the River Eamont into the Solway Firth.

Prior to 1859, it had been straightened to clear land for grazing.[1][2] In 2016, 750 metres (2,460 ft) of straightened channel was replaced with 890 m (2,920 ft) of a new sinuous channel, reconnecting the stream to its surrounding floodplain.[1][3] This resulted in a rapid and marked improvement in its diversity.[4] In 2022, the project was awarded the European Riverprize.[4]
