Old Corpse Road signpost, Haweswater
The Old Corpse Road footpath sign at Haweswater in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria.
Before Holy Trinity Church at Mardale got its own cemetry, the dead had to be carried from Mardale, over the tops to Swindale Head, and then on to Shap for burial. The last body to be carried along the Corpse Road was John Holme in 1736.
The hamlet of Mardale Green was flooded in the 1930's when the reservoir was built.
