Large cross in the saddle of Blencathra
Walk Photo 118804
Caption - The large cross located in the saddle of Blencathra points towards the massive bulk of Skiddaw. This view shows the 'milder' northern slopes. It is of interest that white quartzite is not found on Blencathra so all these rocks were carried up the mountain!

Lake District
Walking in the Lake District National Park is amongst the best in the British Isles. The natural beauty has attracted many artists and writers through the centuries and today the same scenery provides the perfect backdrop to a wide variety of walks. The National Park is located wholly within Cumbria with Windermere, Ambleside and Keswick the main tourist towns. For many this is the finest area in England for walking with a wide variety of scenery. Even on the busiest weekends it is possible to get away from the crowds by carefully selecting one of the less-visited fells. More Information
