Today's walk: Penrith - Beacon Hill


heading up from Penrith towards Beacon Hill


the tower on top of Beacon Hill comes into sight


the permissive path leading up onto Beacon Hill


approaching the summit tower on Beacon Hill


Beacon Hill summit tower ..


.. and a viewfinder ..


.. not much use today as even Penrith is almost lost in haze


from a bit lower down vague outlines of fells above the roofs of Penrith


descent by the same permissive path


Penrith parish church


the giant's grave in the churchyard


sundial above the church door - showing sun time rather than British Summer Time


old fashioned drapers shop in Penrith town centre


looking back over Penrith to Beacon Hill from near the castle


Beacon Hill from Penrith Castle and moat
