Bootleの天然記念物・トップ20

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

In Alfred Wainwright's own words 'The Dunnerdale fells are low in stature, small in extent and insignificant on the map, yet they assert themselves on the local landscape in a bristly defiance of accepted mountain standards. Of course they are not worthy of comparison with Scafell or Great Gable, but they refuse to admit it.' Tarn Hill meets this description perfectly! It's accessed by following narrow paths through thick bracken, over a bit of boggy ground and dodging rocky outcrops but despite its downfalls, the views from here are something special. It's a great vantage point to view Stickle Pike (the next fell on our peak bagging list for the day) and the bigger fells beyond.

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.

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.
