Dist:0.8km<br/>At this spot among the narrow road, our coach met another coach and there was barely room to get past; it gave me time to take a picture though. Quite a drop if we went off the road. We were enjoying the scenery touring through the Kirkstone Pass, travelling from Ullswater to Bowness

Dist:0.9km<br/>Being a predominantly dairy farming area results in a lot of slurry to dispose of!

Dist:1.7km north-northwest<br/>An outlying feature of the High Head Sculpture Valley http://highheadsculpturevalley.co.uk/ is this Stone Circle, created by Brian Cowper in 2006. The stones have been carefully sited to incorporate some significant astronomical alignments. The circle occupies a commanding position on a hill above the valley with fine views in all directions - to the Lake District, the North Pennines, and the hills of southern Scotland. As the hilltop is shared with a young birch plantation, it is to be expected that eventually the circle will be hidden by the surrounding woodland.

The circle occupies a commanding position on a hill above the valley with fine views in all directions - to the Lake District, the North Pennines, and the hills of southern Scotland. On the day of my visit, the visibility was disappointing, although Carrock Fell and the northern slopes of Blencathra could be seen.
