Pennine watershed above Hellifield It doesn't look obvious, but the top of this wet field forming a low slack or col between Wenningber and Butter Haw hills is on the watershed of the Pennines (and therefore of Northern England). The end behind the photographer is the source of Hellifield Beck which flows into the Ribble and ultimately the Irish Sea, while the plantation in the distance is at the head of Crook Beck, a tributary of the Aire, and ultimately the Humber Estuary.
