Crowberry Hill is a prominent geographical feature located in Cumberland, a county in northwest England. It is classified as both a hill and a mountain, with an elevation of approximately 2,030 feet (619 meters) above sea level. Situated within the Lake District National Park, Crowberry Hill offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The hill is primarily composed of volcanic rocks, including basalt and andesite, which were formed during ancient volcanic activity in the region. This geological composition contributes to the hill's distinctive appearance and rugged terrain.

Crowberry Hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, attracting hikers, climbers, and nature lovers. Several well-marked trails traverse the hill, providing opportunities for both leisurely walks and challenging hikes. The ascent to the summit is moderately demanding, but the reward is a panoramic view of the picturesque Lake District, including nearby mountains and valleys.

The hill is named after the crowberry plant (Empetrum nigrum), a hardy shrub that grows abundantly in the area. The plant is known for its dark purple berries, which are a significant food source for wildlife in the region.

Due to its elevation and exposed location, Crowberry Hill experiences changeable weather conditions throughout the year. It is advisable for visitors to come prepared with appropriate clothing and equipment, as the hill can be subject to strong winds and sudden temperature drops.

Overall, Crowberry Hill offers a memorable outdoor experience for those seeking adventure and natural beauty in the heart of Cumberland.

Tales of a Tarmac Lane—Barn, Bend, and Blue Pipe A glimpse down a paved path leading to a leftward bend, featuring a stone barn sporting a slate roof, with its barn entrance sealed shut by corrugated steel. A conspicuous coil of blue water pipe leans nonchalently against the barn&amp;#039;s side wall.

Footbridge over the River Duddon There are stepping stones a short distance downstream (to the right), but nobody in their right minds would risk them when this bridge, constructed in 1934, is available. The stones are large and often sloping, and a slip could easily result in a broken ankle, or worse. For the acknowledgement to the bridge builder, see &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4699873&quot;&gt;SD2296 : River Duddon footbridge plaque&lt;/a&gt;.

Postbox on Hall Bridge An unusual spot for a postbox, on a bridge over the River Duddon, but presumably convenient for local residents (and the postman!).
