Ascent of Sale Fell

This walk takes us onto Sale Fell, familiar to drivers on the A 66, which curves around its eastern and northern flanks. Hidden from the road is the quiet Wythop Valley, where we start our walk.

Guide to the villages and town of the Lake District

This week we have filled our guide to the villages and town of the Lake District, with basic details for each community. More detail will follow over time.

River Dove

The River Dove is the river of Farndale, running along the full length of that valley, from its source on the high moors in the north to the narrow southern exit, a distance of some six and a half miles.
