Mungrisdale Common
Mungrisdale Common, pronounced ''mun-grize-dl'', with emphasis on ''grize'', is a fell in the English Lake District. Although Alfred Wainwright listed it as one of the 214 featured hills in his influential ''Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'' it was his least favourite. He commented that it "has no more pretension to elegance than a pudding that has been sat on". Wainwright, Alfred: ''A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells,Book 5 The Northern Fells'': There is some speculation that Wainwright included the fell in his guide simply as a way to fill space, but that has never been proven. Mungrisdale Common is oddly named, as it is a number of miles from the village of Mungrisdale, which lies in a different river catchment. Topography Mungrisdale Common lies north of Blencathra of which it is an outlier. Gently graded grassy slopes fall from Atkinson Pike, Blencathra's northern summit. Upon meeting the head of Blackhazel Beck, the shoulder divides in two, the northeastern ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Skiddaw Group SSSI
Skiddaw Group SSSI is a site of special scientific interest in the Lake District High Fells, England. Its shape is approximately a rough circle centred near Great Calva, with an area of . The high ground creates a drainage divide, watershed between the ''Caldew Operational Catchment'' with water flowing north towards Carlisle, and the ''Ellen and West Coast'' and ''Derwent Operational Catchments'' flowing towards the west coast at Workington and Maryport.

Souther Fell
Souther Fell is a fell in the English Lake District. It stands to the south of Mungrisdale village in the Northern Fells. It is most famous for the appearance of a "spectral army", said to have been seen marching along its crest on Midsummer's Day, 1745. No such force was in the District at the time. Topography Souther Fell is the eastern extremity of Blencathra, a continuation of the arm that runs down from the summit over Doddick Fell and Scales Fell. A smooth slope falls eastward from Scales Fell to the col of Mousthwaite Comb at . The ridge then turns northeast for two miles along the summit of Souther Fell. Mousthwaite Comb is a geographical oddity. To the north of the depression, running eastward, is the River Glenderamackin. To the south of the col, flowing westward, is the same river. In the intervening time the Glenderamackin has run for six miles, surrounding Souther Fell on three sides like a moat. The Comb provides its only dryshod connection to other ground an ...

Bowscale Fell
Bowscale Fell is a hill in the England, English Lake District. It rises above the village of Mungrisdale in the Northern Fells.

Topography A curving ridge surrounds the head of Bannerdale, with Bowscale Fell at the northern end and Bannerdale Crags to the south. The ridgeline is broad and grassy with occasional patches of bog and a couple of small tarn (lake), tarns in the north. Bannerdale flows due east from the depression between the two fells to its junction with the River Glenderamackin. A second tributary of the Glenderamackin, Bullfell Beck, runs parallel a little to the north, its source being directly beneath the summit of Bowscale Fell. The heads of the two valleys are divided by a truncated east ridge, The Tongue, which sports ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bannerdale Crags
Bannerdale Crags is a fell in the English Lake District. It stands between Blencathra and Bowscale Fell in the Northern Fells. Topography Bannerdale Crags is a ridge running north west to south east. The name was originally applied purely to the steep north eastern flank, but is now generally given to the fell as a whole. Wainwright, Alfred: ''A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells,Book 5 The Northern Fells'': A broad convex slope descends northward from Blencathra's Atkinson Pike top, gradually resolving into two ridges. The western arm continues to Mungrisdale Common while the north eastern limb, flecked with outcropping rock, falls to a steep sided col at . From the depression Blackhazel Beck descends north west to join the River Caldew while the source of the Glenderamackin lies on the opposite slope. Across the col smooth slopes rise once more up the south western flank of the Bannerdale Crags ridge. There is little clue here to the wall of crags on the other side. ...
