Minor road with passing place

The road is seen heading north towards the farm at Thursgill where it ends as a publicly motorable route. It's climbing from a stream crossing near to Ellerthwaite.

Ridge rising to Great Dummacks

Great Dummacks is an elongated rib of ground at the top of the rising ridge and across the head of the valley to the left. As with most Howgill ridges there's a quad bike track following this one which acts perfectly as a path for those on foot.

Barn at Fawcett Bank

Fawcett Bank is a farm in the valley of the River Rawthey. The farm road, also a public footpath, is the course of a named long distance path based on a walk made by Alfred Wainwright in 1938, 'A Pennine Journey'.

Route of 'A Pennine Journey'

The road is the access route for the farm at Fawcett Bank; it's not a public road for motoring but is a public footpath and is now the route of the long distance walk. The route is not the one followed in 1938 by Alfred Wainwright and recorded by him in a version not originally intended for publication, but a similar one made in 1998 by David and Heather Pitt.

Knott

Knott is one of the lesser hills of the Howgill group; it lies to the east of Sickers Fell from which the image was taken. The higher and more massive hill in the distance is Baugh Fell.
