Hiking
Running up between Mell Fell and Amber Hill is the beautiful Scordale Valley. Having the steep hillsides of the mountains on either side of quaint Scordale Beck makes for a magical location. There is a track that weaves alongside the beck that is a good access point for Murton Fell and Little Fell. Do remember, however, that the public footpaths in this area are only accessible on non firing days or when the flags are down. The whole area, unfortunately, sits totally within the WARCOP military training area. For further information on access, telephone 017683 43235/43236.
