Eavestoneのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

North Gill Beckは、Dallowgillの北の境界を形成する小さな高地の小川です。それは、Laver川に向かって、囲まれた牧草地と森林を東に流れています。これらの橋と前方は、暑い日には涼しくて気持ちの良いPye CarrとHodgson Woodにあります。

Lumley Moorは、単に水を貯めるだけでなく、水を放出するために建設されました。ビクトリア朝時代の水道施設は、しばしば自然の河川流量を減少させていました。Riponのような町が山岳地帯の小川から水を汲み上げ始めると、夏の流量低下のリスクがあり、それは下流の工場に影響を与え、魚を殺し、河岸権（ビクトリア朝時代には大きな法的問題でした）を侵害する可能性がありました。そのため、水道当局は、汲み上げた水を補償するために、川に水を戻すことが法的に義務付けられていました。Gouthwaite Reservoirと同じですが、はるかに小規模なこの施設は、補償用貯水池の一種です。

ピットストップに最適な場所です。川床の段差でできた小さな滝は珍しく、ニダーデール湿原のほとんどの徒渉地は平坦で特徴のない横断路です。

素晴らしい岩石層

wonderful trek around the stones but watch out can be very busy

Small picturesque ford at Fell Beck with a weir slightly upstream. The weir can be difficult to spot in spring due to dense vegetation, but you can't fail to hear it.

If you can stomach getting up very early for hikes and runs, then you will have the place to yourself. Absolutely stunning at around 6-7am in the early morning May sunshine.

Wishing Stone, which is located near the precariously balanced ‘Idol’. The Wishing Stone is a tall rock, at the base of which there is an opening around a short stone pillar with a hole through it. The old guide book notes that people placed the middle finger of their right hand into the small hole, and then made a wish. Another reference mentions placing the right arm around the pillar itself, in order to bring luck. The Wishing Stone name may have been given to this rock feature by the tour guides, or it may have been another part of the areas older folklore. In either case it shows that the belief in wishing stones existed hereabouts, and was familiar to visitors. Wishing Stones in other parts of Britain often required some action or ritual to be performed before making the wish, such as walking around the rock 3 times. There may have been something similar at the Brimham Wishing Stone, perhaps involving crawling through a gap in the rock below the wishing pillar.
