Fell Guides: Low Fell and Loughrigg Fell

Two rather different lower fells - Low Fell overlooking Loweswater and Loughrigg Fell above Ambleside.

Walk: Yewbarrow

This walk takes us up Yewbarrow in Wasdale using a less familar path that goes up the north-western slopes of the fell.

Fell Guides: Lord's Seat and Long Side

Two near-neighbours this time - Lord's Seat on the western side of Bassenthwaite and Long Side on the eastern side of the lake.

Wykeham Abbey

Wykeham Abbey was a priory of Cistercian nuns, founded in around 1153 by Pain Fitz Osbert and that survived until the dissolution of the monasteries.

Fell Guides: Lingmoor Fell and Ling Fell

Two very different fells again - Lingmoor Fell, forming the barrier between Great and Little Langdale and Ling Fell on the north-western edge of the district.

Picture Gallery for the Meadow Pipit

We add a new picture gallery for the Meadow Pipit, a common bird on the high fells.
