Howgill Fells, Cumbria (N 54° 22’ 19” W 2° 35’ 01”)
Howgill Fells are a group of low hills located between Sedbergh, Kirkby Stephen and Tebay in the Cumbrian countryside, though the southern part is actually located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. They are separated from the Lake District to the west by the River Lune and in the east by the Dent fault. Two Marilyns ( the English name for hills standing over a height of 150 metres (492 ft)) are The Calf standing at 676 metres (2218 ft) and Yarlside at 639 metres (2096ft) , together with five smaller peaks make up the Howgill Fells. England’s highest waterfall, Cautley Spout, can be found in the southern part of the district. Walking across the fells gives wonderful views of both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Much of the lower land is dominated by cattle rearing with pastures being separated by dry stone walls.
