Caldbeck Fells
| "There are no walls to obstruct free wandering over these pleasant foothills. Life seems good here when the larks are rising and curlews wheeling overhead." |

The remote fells on the Back O'Skiddaw are the most northerly in the Lake District, a long drive from the honey-pots of central Lakeland makes them extremely quiet and under walked. They offer however a wonderful days walking, a different type of mountain to much of Lakeland, the Back O'Skiddaw fells are more similar to the moorland of the north Pennines than the rocky Lakeland fells, although below the grassy surface is a rich mineral field, heavily mined over the centuries. The mining history of the area adds another dimension to the walking here, the fells are full of history which can be traced during the days walking. |
| "Carrock Fell has quite exceptional interest for the geologist, the mineralologist and the antiquary, and even the unlearned fellwalker will find the ascent out of the ordinary." |
