Containing nearly 600 species of flora, Sandscale Haws' system of sand dunes is a botanist's dream. Amphibian enthusiasts are also well served here, with 15% of Britain's natterjack toads found on the site. Boardwalks allow access to some of the pools. You can expect stirring views of the Duddon Estuary and the Lakeland Fells around every corner.

Burney is a small fell in the Lake District National Park. It has wonderful views over to Black Combe and across the southern fells of the Lake District. There is a trig point but the highest point is a few more metres to the south-west.

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).

I wasn't expecting to enjoy my hike to Stoupdale Head quite as much as I did! It looked fairly nondescript on the map. Just a small cairn on a plateau of bog. But I was pleasantly surprised! After a dry spell the ground was firm and I enjoyed awesome views to Buck Barrow and Kinmont Buck Barrow in the middle distance and beyond that to the Scafells.

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.

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.

Swinside Stone Circle is one of the most important ancient monuments in Cumbria and comprises 55 stones. Although the circle is located on private ground, it can easily be viewed from a nearby public footpath. Swinside Stone Circle was constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3,300 to 900 BC.
