Todd Fell

St Mary's Church Longsleddale Deep into Longsledderdale, sandwiched between remnant ribbons of semi-ancient woodland along the valley floor, an earlier chapel of 1712 was replaced with an endowment from Lady Howard of Leven’s Hall, who held the manorial rights. A range of even earlier artefacts survive, mainly furnishings, but some elements have been built in, such as the aumbry cupboard door of 1662. Indeed, it is the furnishings and internal features that bring to life that which would otherwise be rather plain: the pulpit, unusually accessed by a rear door from the Vestry; the chancel arch inscription; the east window suspended stained glass pendant of the church’s chalice (of 1571, safeguarded off-site); wall-paintings; chests, etc.

NW up Long Sleddale The view is near Yewbarrow Hall, with Harter Fell (2,509 ft.) ahead. This road goes no further than the head of the valley, but in the 1840s it nearly became the route of the Lancaster & Carlisle Railway - part of the present West Coast Main Line; instead, it is followed by the pipeline to Manchester from Haweswater Reservoir.

Bannisdale Beck Standing on Dryhowe Bridge looking up the dale. The craggy flank of Capplefall is about as exciting as the scenery gets in this very quiet corner of the Lake District. I saw few other walkers all day - two on the tops and two strolling along the valley track. Definitely a place to get far from the madding crowd.

Minor top above Bannisdale A few small outcrops dot the top of this knoll east of the summit of Whiteside Pike. Looking north into the sequestered valley of Bannisdale with the craggy flank of Capplefall prominent.
