A textbook example of a spill-way resulting from the melt-waters of the Cumbrian ice-cap at the climax of the last Ice Age. Nannycatch Gorge is a delightful valley to amble along below the steep slopes of Flat Fell and its screes. Your accompaniment is the burbling tones of Nannycatch Beck on its journey to the sea.

From the Nannycatch Gate, the path follows for about a kilometer the bed of the Nannycatchbeek, which defines the landscape here.
