The Cumbria Way near Beacon Fell

The Cumbria Way long distance footpath descends towards Stable Harvey Moss and Torver Low Common before taking a more north-easterly direction lower down the slope (next photograph SD2791 : The Cumbria Way near Beacon Fell). The three main mountains in the background are Dow Crag (2,555’), Coniston Old Man (2,635’) and Wetherlam (2502’). Helvellyn (3118') is visible in the distant right background. Note: The height in feet of some of the Lake District mountains varies on different editions of the Ordnance Survey map and will depend upon the survey point used by the surveyors at the time; it is rarely the highest point on the mountain. The heights above are taken from the Ordnance Survey 1” map Sheet 88, revised 1962-63 B).

Torver Low Common near Stable Harvey

The path leaves the minor road from Brown Howe to Stable Harvey. It is signposted for The Cumbria Way long distance path which has followed the minor road northwards for approximately 60m (65 yards) and walkers following The Cumbria Way normally take this route (next photograph SD2891 : Ash tree near Stable Harvey Moss). The signpost is mis-located as the public right of way (and the official route of The Cumbria Way) leaves the road some 55m (60 yards) further to the north east towards Stable Harvey Farm. The land here is Access Land so no trespass is incurred. The grass is parched due to a prolonged period of dry weather.
