Holme Head Bay and its waterfall is a secluded area off of the river Caldew, with its pebbled areas and clear fresh running water, it creates a calm and relaxing area to walk the dog or to sit and soak up the sun. It was because of its contrast with water and foliage to why it was chosen location to relm. It was found as we were exploring our surroundings and it was because of the man-made waterfall and calm crystal clear water crashing through the rock pools to why we chose to delve deep into its treasures.
The Ferguson Brothers moved to the site in the 1820’s but it is thought to date back to the 1800s
The mill was part of the textile industry but closed in 1991 and has since been converted into homes
The Bay was built in 1864 to regulate the flow of water into the mill-race as a source of power
By the middle of the 19th Century, the river Caldew helped make Carlisle the fourth most important textile producing areas in the country
A fish-ladder has been built in the wier to enable salmon to return to thier breeding grounds
The salmon travelling back to thier breeding grounds can often be seen between October to December, especailly after heavy rain
“Being here gives me a sense of calm. It is a place where I can visit if I’m feeling stressed or anxious and I know it will calm me. My head is clear of all my worries and for these few mintues, I feel like nothing can get me.”
