Pooley Bridge : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pooley Bridge
Pooley Bridge is a village in the Eden District of the northwestern English county of Cumbria, within the traditional borders of Westmorland. It takes its name from the bridge over the River Eamont at the northern end of Ullswater. There is a pier from which ferries (known as the Ullswater 'Steamers') provide connections to Glenridding and Howtown. Pooley Bridge was formerly known as Pooley or Pool How meaning the hill by the pool or stream. The name Pool How was derived from the Old English word ''pollr'' plus the Old Norse ''haugr'' meaning hill or mound.〔(Towns, Villages, Hamlets and Farms Place Names in the Lake District )〕〔(Towns and Villages of Cumbria )〕 Pooley is mostly situated in the civil parish of Barton, of which it is the main settlement. The few houses on the northern or Cumberland side of the bridge are in Dacre parish.〔(Lake District Lets Go Illustrated details )〕 The village is popular with tourists, especially during the summer, and has several hotels, guest houses and camping sites. ==References==
