Rigg Beck is a minor river of Cumbria in England.
Rigg Beck is also the name of a famous dwelling – the Purple House [1] – placed where the Beck crosses the Keskadale road, and which formed an excellent starting point for exploring the fells. [2]
Rigg Beck arises at the top of the high pass between Ard Crags and Causey Pike, of the latter of which it forms one boundary. [3] The beck flows eventually into Newlands Beck. [4]
The path alongside Rigg Beck forms an attractive pedestrian route between Newlands Valley and Buttermere. [5]
