Stanley Ghyll Force on Birker Beck south of Eskdale is a 20m high waterfall in a dramatic narrow gorge.

Stickle Pike is a wonderful small fell with a very distinctive profile in the south of the Lake District National Park. It's pyramid-like in shape and from many angles looks like it would be difficult to ascend but it's actually a joy to walk. The cairn on the top sits on a natural plinth of rock. Pillar, Scafell, Bowfell and the Coniston fells can be appreciated from the summit.

Alfred Wainwright had a habit of including 'nameless' summits in his walks for the book - The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. He simply lists them as their height in feet. Despite its lack of a name, we 'bagged' this peak regardless. Part of a long walk starting with Great Stickle in the south and ending on Walna Scar to the north east (and all 8 fells in between) before looping back down the valley back to the car.

I hiked to the summit of this Lake District fell with a great deal of anticipation! A few had recommended it as their favourite Outlying Fell of Lakeland and it didn't disappoint! Simply outstanding views to the Scafells including Scafell Pike, Pillar, Great End and on to Esk Pike, Bow Fell, Crinkle Crags, Pike O'Blisco and all the Coniston fells - Great Carrs, Swirl How, Dow Crag, Coniston Old Man. In the foreground - Harter Fell and Hard Knott. Wowza! Off to the other side is Black Combe and a number of other outliers. What a treat!

Black Combe is one of the Trail 100 (Trail Magazine's top 100 UK mountains they recommend you climb) and it's also a Wainwright Outlying Fell, a Birkett and a Marilyn. We were unfortunately caught in a sudden electrical storm during our hike which limited our ability to enjoy the beauty of the fell somewhat but the views from here are remarkable. You can even see all the way to Helvellyn 22 miles (36 km) away as the crow flies).

Outlier of Lakeland, Black Combe is the perfect bridge between land and sea. Located in southern Cumbria above the town of Millom, it is a gently-rounded dome so isolated it serves up uninterrupted, soul-satisfying panoramas of the Irish Sea, Cumbrian coast, the Isle of Man and, of course, inland to the Lakes.

Always best to visit here after rainfall, as with most waterfalls, it is much more impressive.

Hidden away in the far south-west corner of the lake District is Black Combe. Just four miles from the Irish Sea, the fell is 1,970 feet (600 meters) high and boasts excellent panoramic views of land and sea.
