St.
John's in the Vale Seen
from above Thirlspot the dark brooding bulk of Blencathra
dominates a peaceful sunlit St. John’s in the Vale. |
|
Borrowdale
The
lush fertile fields and wooded slopes of Borrowdale owe much to
the copious rainfall attracted by the high fells beyond. The stark
grandeur of this skyline includes such favourites as Glaramara,
The Scafells and Great Gable. |

Bassenthwaite
marshes from
Dodd Wood
This
scene of the marshland which separates Bassenthwaite Lake from
Derwentwater, was taken from one of the forest roads on Dodd Wood,
with the Derwent Fells, Whinlatter Pass and Thornthwaite on the
other side of the valley, peering through the mist. |
|
Newlands
Valley
This
picture of the Newlands Valley shows the well-known ridges leading
up to Hindscarth on the left and Robinson on the right. This area
in days gone by has seen great mining times, a thriving community
winning various metals and ores from deep inside the fells.
Remnants of the
old,
aptly named, Goldscope mine can be seen among the bracken of Scope
End. |
|
Thirlmere
With
the high ground of Helvellyn on its eastern shore Thirlmere can
display many dramatic moods according to the prevailing weather
conditions. This autumnal morning shows a particularly fine blend
of clouds, mists and sunshine, with the still lake contrasting
well with the forested fellsides. |
|
Derwentwater
The
lower slopes of Cat Bells bestow particularly fine views of
Derwentwater, here seen with part of Keswick on the far shore,
Latrigg beyond and with the hulk of Blencathra forming a
distinctive background in the distance. |
