Cumbria's largest settlement and county town is Carlisle and the only other major urban area is Barrow-in-Furness on the south-western tip of the county which has a population just slightly smaller than Carlisle.
Mickledore
Mickledore (the name means great door or pass) is a narrow ridge, 840 metres (2755 ft) high, connecting the mountains of Sca Fell and Scafell Pike in the English Lake District. It is also a pass between the valleys of Wasdale and Eskdale. The ridge is easily reached and traversed from Scafell Pike to the north, or from the valleys to the east and west.
Wasdale Head
Wasdale Head is a small agricultural village in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. The village claims to be home of the highest mountain (Scafell Pike), deepest lake, smallest church and biggest liar in England. The last of these claims refers to Will Ritson, who proclaimed himself as such. It is located at the "head" of the valley of Wasdale, and is surrounded by some of England's highest mountains: Scafell Pike, Sca Fell, Great Gable, Kirk Fell and Pillar.
Haystacks (Lake District)
Haystacks, or Hay Stacks, is a hill in England's Lake District, situated at the south-eastern end of the Buttermere Valley. Although not of any great elevation (597 m, 1,958 ft), Haystacks has become one of the most popular fells in the area. This fame is partly due to the writings of Alfred Wainwright, who espoused its attractions and chose it as the place where he wanted his ashes scattered. Its summit is full of interest and contains a number of attractive rock formations and tarns.
Church of St Olaf, Wasdale
St Olaf's Church in Wasdale Head, Cumbria, is one of England's smallest churches. The earliest record of the church is from 1550, though it probably predates this, as the beams are said to come from a Viking longship.
Mosedale Beck
Mosedale Beck is a stream in Cumbria which runs into Wast Water, which is the deepest lake in England. Mosedale Beck rises in Little Scoat Fell, it then flows south west until it reaches Risson's Force waterfall, it then turns to the south and flows through the village of Wasdale Head. It then flows through Down-in-the-Dale where it is joined by Lingmell Beck before it empties into Wast Water
Ritsons Force
Ritsons Force is a set of waterfalls in the valley of Mosedale in the English Lake District. It is also the river that leads past the Wasdale Head Inn and the Great Gable Brewing Company. The hills nearby include Sca Fell and Scafell Pike, England's two highest mountains, and Great Gable, home to British climbing. Ritsons Force and Wasdale Head are in the Lake District National Park which is in Cumbria, an English county that borders with Scotland
Innominate Tarn
Innominate Tarn is a small tarn in the northern Lake District National Park in England. It is situated at 520 metres above sea level, near the summit of Haystacks. The name Innominate means "without a name". It was formerly known as Loaf Tarn, which referred to small islands of peat in the tarn resembling loaves. The tarn is the location where Alfred Wainwright's ashes were scattered.
