Storm Desmond wreaked havoc across Cumbria with floods and destruction. The A591, the main road between Ambleside and Keswick was sliced in two, as large parts of the road were swept away. It is likely to be six months at least before the road is open. You can see debris in the background from one of the many landslides, where the super saturated ground gave way.
