Hutton Moor End
Hutton Moor End is a hamlet on the Hutton Moor Road in the north east of the Lake District in Cumbria, England. It lies within the civil parish of Mungrisdale and is known locally as 'Moor End' as it is at the end of the Hutton Moor on an old route-way between Penrith to Keswick. Hamlet and its listed buildings Hutton Moor End is built around two listed buildings just 25 metres apart, (I) Low House and No.1 Low Moorend (1681) and its close neighbour (II) Moor End Farmhouse and Adjoining Barns (1719). Moor End Farmhouse was for many years a busy coaching inn named 'The Sun Inn', used regularly by stage coaches from Lowther Hall to Keswick. The mounting steps for the horses still remain as does a ring for tethering. An inscription high on an outside wall gives the building's age in Roman numerals. Low House's dated lintel is on its side-gabled stone porch cover's entrance. Placement on the old route-way These two listed buildings were built upon an old route-way between ...

Penrith And The Border (UK Parliament Constituency)
Penrith and The Border is a constituency in Cumbria represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Neil Hudson, a Conservative. History Penrith and The Border was first contested in 1950 since which it has to date been generally a safe Conservative seat and on rare occasions a marginal. The Conservatives came close to losing the seat in a 1983 by-election, when the former cabinet minister 'Willie' Whitelaw became the leader of the House of Lords: the by-election took place a mere seven weeks after his success in the 1983 general election. Since that year the Liberal Democrats have come second behind the Conservatives until the 2015 general election when they came fourth. At the two subsequent general elections they have come third. History of boundaries 1950–1983: The Urban District of Penrith, and the Rural Districts of Alston with Garrigill, Border, Penrith, and Wigton. 1983–1997: The District of Eden wards of Alston Moor, Appleby, Apple ...

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 and ...

Cultural Landscape
Cultural landscape is a term used in the fields of geography, ecology, and heritage studies, to describe a symbiosis of human activity and environment. As defined by the World Heritage Committee, it is the "cultural properties hatrepresent the combined works of nature and of man" and falls into three main categories: # "a landscape designed and created intentionally by man" # an "organically evolved landscape" which may be a "relict (or fossil) landscape" or a "continuing landscape" # an "associative cultural landscape" which may be valued because of the "religious, artistic or cultural associations of the natural element." Historical development The concept of 'cultural landscapes' can be found in the European tradition of landscape painting. From the 16th century onwards, many European artists painted landscapes in favor of people, diminishing the people in their paintings to figures subsumed within broader, regionally specific landscapes.GIBSON, W.S (1989) Mirror of the Ea ...

River Glenderamackin
The River Glenderamackin, the Glendermackin or Glendermackin Beck is a watercourse in Cumbria, England. It is a headstream of the Greta. The river rises on Mungrisdale Common north of Blencathra and drains much of the eastern and southern sides of the mountain. The river runs east, then north before sharply turning south at the village of Mungrisdale, skirting almost all around the bottom of Souther Fell. Latterly, the river turns west to the north of Hutton Moor End and the Trout Beck joins it at Wolt Bridge to the south of Lowside. Not too far away it is soon swelled again by the waters of Mosedale Beck next to Dobson's Bridge. The Glenderamackin continues past Threlkeld, at which point it conjoins with St. John's Beck to form the River Greta. Toponymy The name ''Glenermakan'' is recorded from 1278.Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society.'' Kendal. 1866-1900 (first series) xxiii, pages 186 f.

Great Dodd
Great Dodd (meaning: ''big round hill'') is a mountain or fell in the English Lake District. It stands on the main ridge of the Helvellyn range, a line of mountains which runs in a north-south direction between the lakes of Thirlmere and Ullswater in the east of the Lake District. Great Dodd, with a height of 857 m is the highest of the fells in this range to the north of Sticks Pass. Walkers may approach Great Dodd from either High Row near Dockray to the east, or from Legburthwaite to the west – or along the main ridge track from either north or south. Scramblers with climbing skills may be attracted to three gill climbs on the western side of the mountain. The summit of Great Dodd is a smooth, grassy, rounded dome, like its two southern neighbours, Watson's Dodd and Stybarrow Dodd. Together, these three are sometimes called ‘The Three Dodds’. These three are made of volcanic rocks of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, and the tops of all three are covered by the sa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clough Head
Clough Head () (meaning: ''hill-top above the ravine'') is a fell, or hill, in the English Lake District. It marks the northern end of the main ridge of the Helvellyn range and is often walked as part of the ridge walk. The fell stands south of the village of Threlkeld and the A66 road, and it forms the steep eastern side of the tranquil valley of St John's in the Vale. On its western side the fell displays a dark mass of rocky crags and a deep-set rocky ravine. On the other side it has smooth grassy slopes. Beneath the north face is the steep valley or clough from which Clough Head gets its name. Also beneath the steep northern face lies the lower hill of Threlkeld Knotts, a granite hill which has been much quarried round its margin. A number of different types of rock are found on and around Clough Head, which were formed in very different circumstances. These include deep-sea sedimentation, effusive volcanic lava flows, explosive volcanism, an intrusion of granite, mineralis ...
