Southerly view from near Whitekeld I was greatly impressed by the solitude of this region. The tourist droves trip over themselves elsewhere but here is idyllic, unspoiled, and peaceful. However there seems to be a dearth of bird life in the region. On this terrain you'd expect to see a good head of Peewit and curlew to name a few. there were none.

War memorial at Lamplugh The small settlement at Lamplugh is at the western edge of the Lake District National Park. Much of the village lies just within the park boundary; its church, St. Michael's, lies outside.
The war memorial stands at the west end of the church; it has clearly been cleaned since Matthew Hatton photographed it in May 2014 - <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4019954" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4019954">Link</a>.
