The Howgill Fells 

​

 

The Howgill Fells are a group of high, smooth, rounded hills with dome-like summits and deep, steep-sided valleys, characterized by their distinctive, almost triangular shape. Located between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, they are remote, exposed, and largely unenclosed, covered with moorland, acid grassland, and bracken, offering panoramic views. The highest point is The Calf at 676 metres, and the area is known for its dramatic waterfalls, wildlife like Fell ponies, and a sense of wilderness.
