Slopes of Eskerdale Steep slopes on the NW side of Eskerdale, an area neglected for agriculture and much colonised by birch and oak. At one time this must have been farmed and old maps show Eskerdale House which would have been somewhere within this shot. I took several photos here and by magnifying the results I believe the house must have been left of centre above a patch of pale grassland. A few traces of old walls appear around a mature tree in this patch.

Steep path into Eskerdale The line of an old path dropping into Eskerdale can be seen crossing the photo diagonally left to right. The path is within access land but ends up in woodland outside the access area. Still worthy of exploration at some time.
