Summit cairn, Tailbridge Hill The summit of this hill is an easy stroll up from the B6270 at the head of the pass, the underlying limestone making it a dry route in most conditions.

View towards the north from Tailbridge Hill A fine viewpoint gained with little effort from the B6270 road less than a mile away. The view is slightly west of north across outlying limestone ridges around Hartley and towards the northern Pennines, where flat topped Cross Fell is visible near the centre of the picture.

Tailbridge Hill with view to the south The summit cairn of Tailbridge Hill looking slightly west of south across the Mallerstang valley towards the flat top of Wild Boar Fell. It is interesting to compare the outline of this typical Pennine summit with that of the Howgill Fells a little further west and the other side of a major fault line.

Hillside Farm, Wharton It looks too neat and tidy to be a working farm, and indeed it seems the former farmhouse is now available as a self-catering holiday let.
