These combine with shallow soil cover, shakeholes, potholes and caves to form classic karst landscape. • Panoramic views across the southern dales and southern dales fringes. In the western part of the area views are dominated by the Three Peaks landforms of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent. Vertical limestone • Closely grazed, springy, flower-rich grasslands form a neat, bright green carpet between exposed rock features. cliffs at Kilnsey • Scattered trees or open, grazed woodland on scree slopes and cliffs, with occasional windblown trees or shrubs in Crag, Wharfedale ... cliffs and pavements at higher levels. Several large, semi-natural, undergrazed woodlands occur on the dale sides and a few, small, isolated plantations at higher elevations. • A general absence of streams and surface water features, with the exception of occasional small tarns and limited numbers of springs at the base of the limestone moors, mainly around Ingleborough.

  • Landform Studies in Mosedale, Northeastern Lake District: Opportunities for Field Investigations
    Field Studies, 10, (2002) 177 - 206 LANDFORM STUDIES IN MOSEDALE, NORTHEASTERN LAKE DISTRICT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIELD INVESTIGATIONS RICHARD CLARK Parcey House, Hartsop, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0NZ AND PETER WILSON School of Environmental Studies, University of Ulster at Coleraine, Cromore Road, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Mosedale is part of the valley of the River Caldew in the Skiddaw upland of the northeastern Lake District. It possesses a diverse, interesting and problematic assemblage of landforms and is convenient to Blencathra Field Centre. The landforms result from glacial, periglacial, fluvial and hillslopes processes and, although some of them have been described previously, others have not. Landforms of one time and environment occur adjacent to those of another. The area is a valuable locality for the field teaching and evaluation of upland geomorphology. In this paper, something of the variety of landforms, materials and processes is outlined for each district in turn. That is followed by suggestions for further enquiry about landform development in time and place. Some questions are posed. These should not be thought of as being the only relevant ones that might be asked about the area: they are intended to help set enquiry off. Mosedale offers a challenge to students at all levels and its landforms demonstrate a complexity that is rarely presented in the textbooks. INTRODUCTION Upland areas attract research and teaching in both earth and life sciences. In part, that is for the pleasure in being there and, substantially, for relative freedom of access to such features as landforms, outcrops and habitats, especially in comparison with intensively occupied lowland areas.

What these were I was unable to learn; Mr. Merritt, the proprietor, being absent at the time. While the water of the creek, only a few feet off, is quite sweet, that of the spring is very salt, and copious, tt is some- times very red. Fifty gallons make a bushel of salt, which is very white, and in small and thin irregular tables ; '36~0 bushels are made in a year, worth on the spot about 550l. sterling.

Below Grisedale Pike to the north is Grisedale, a remote valley lying beneath the heights of Swarth Fell. Grisedale featured in a Yorkshire documentary ‘The Dale That Died’ in 1975, a book to accompany the programme was produced by Barry Cockcroft. The Clough River has its source in Grisedale. Tributaries on Swarth Fell and Baugh Fell are collected into Grisedale Beck which continues as Clough River running through Grisedale Head and down Garsdale to join the River Rawthey near Gardsale Bridge. Some of the old farms in Grisedale have been refurbished and are lived in; many are in ruins such as Rowantree, East Scale where there is a Quaker burial ground, West Scale and Round Ing.
