The views from Birker Fell can be breathtaking if the evening sun breaks through. The evening this photo was taken was magical, even by Lake District standards! |
One last view of the peaks of the western Lake District from Birker Fell. Why this area doesn't get more visitors is beyond me - the views are wonderful. |
Just south of Cockley Beck the River Duddon widens before it enters woodland. Stepping stones allow walkers to cross the river on their way over Hardknott Pass. |
Birks Bridge across the River Duddon marks the northern edge of a recreation area in this secluded valley. |
Blakes Raise is a small, stone circle just south of Ennerdale Bridge. It is very easy to reach, situated just off the minor road south towards Haile. |

Dawn over Blea Tarn, a lovely lake located at the western extremity of the Langdale valley. |
If you climb the slopes of Blake Rigg, above Blea Tarn, you are rewarded with lovely views across to Rough Crags and the valley of Little Langdale. |
There are very nice walking trails around the small lake of Blea Tarn. Get here early, for the area is extremely popular with walkers, and the National Trust parking lot fills up quickly. |
An old wooden fence trails into the water of Blea Tarn. The location is fantastic, and it deserves its reputation as one of the prettiest spots in the Lake District. |
The River Derwent near Rosthwaite, Borrowdale. There is a lovely walk along the river to Castle Crag, which affords fabulous views north over Derwent Water |
