The RiverEden is a river in Cumbria, England that flows through Carlisle on its way into the Solway Firth.
Continuing north, it passes the ancient stone Long Meg and Her Daughters and the sparsely populated beef and dairy farming regions of the vale of Cumbria.
The Eden Valley is green and fertile but in medieval times the valley was vulnerable to Scottish raids, and the number of pele towers and castles in the area are testament to a turbulent and often violent past.

After Appleby, the River is augmented by tributaries from the mighty Cross Fell and its neighbours, which form a lofty backcloth to the eastern side of the valley.
