The Corpse Road
As we cross this small bridge we make a very distinctive line to that tree in the horizon. One can imagine a procession following a laden cart here.
'During the medieval period, the local population rose significantly and, consequently, so did the number of churches in the area. Keen to retain their authority and sustain revenues, senior ministers of existing parish churches made claims to burial rights over the area, thus resulting in the need for residents in outlying villages to travel a fair distance to bury their loved ones in the designated consecrated ground. Corpse roads were created to allow villagers to travel to their parish churches for this reason. One such corpse road ran from Buttermere to the church at Lamplugh, a village on the western edge of the Lake District. Part of the ancient route remains, and this walk follows it as it traverses the side of fells above Loweswater.' (https://www.thelakedistrict.org/things-to-do/walks/high-nook-tarn/)

The leading lines of the bridge and track are perfect, especially accompanied by your description.
