today's walk: Beacon Hill


Beacon Hill from Penrith Castle ..


.. and zoomed in from the Agricultural Hotel


looking back down Fell Lane which leads to the path up Beacon Hill


looking back down the path ..


.. and again as it curves up to the top


Beacon Hill summit


lakeland fells seen over Penrith from the summit


track southwards along the edge of the hill ..


.. unfortunately this is private woodland and a locked gate prevents exit at the other end ..


.. but it does give good views through the trees to the Lake District fells


Great Mell Fell with the snowy Dodds faintly beyond


a glimpse of Blencathra


descent by the same path


Penrith parish church


the giant's grave in the churchyard


in Penrith


Penrith Castle


Beacon Fell from the castle ..


.. and again zoomed in - spot the summit tower
