An 11-year-old girl had to be airlifted after falling off a wall in Cumbria.

The youngster was enjoying a day out with her family in Eskdale, when she tumbled off the wall and suffered suspected back injuries.

The Great North Air Ambulance was called to the scene at about 5pm on Sunday.

Paramedic Terry Sharpe said: "We assessed the child and decided she needed to go to a specialist hospital, and so flew her to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.

"She has suspected spinal injuries but was stable on arrival."

Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team and the North West Ambulance Service also attended.
