Beck Houses is a hamlet in Cumbria, England. It lies south of Grayrigg in the Westmorland and Furness unitary authority area. The West Coast Main Line passes close by and provides a popular viewpoint for railway photographers. The Dales Way long-distnace footpath passes just south of Beck Houses, crossing the railway on the minor north-south road through the hamlet.

Lambrigg Fell is a hill, the highest point of the area of high ground between Kendal and the M6, in south-eastern Cumbria, England.It lies just outside the area normally defined as the Lake District, and the hill is not in the same mould as the nearby Lakeland Fells, being a sprawling, grassy moorland. For this reason, it is not nearly as popular as its subsidiary top to the west, Benson Knott, which overlooks Kendal. However, the hill provides close-range views of both the Howgill Fells and the Lake District, together with the Yorkshire Dales. The hill can be accessed by the minor road linking Docker and Lambrigg Head, which runs across the northern slopes of the fell. However, car parking is very limited near to the access gate. A track runs most of the way towards the summit, passing a small reservoir. The landowner is strongly opposed to use of this track from the top sheepfold onwards and the right of way follows a due south route over boggy ground from the top sheepfold. This gives a walk of about two and a half miles. Note that the right of way does not reach the summit and the landowner has acted to prevent those making the 200metre diversion to get to the top. Some 100 metres west of the summit, on the eastern side of the bridleway, the ruins of a small building may be seen. The exact nature of this structure is unclear, but local residents state that it was used as a shelter for members of shooting parties on the fell. It is possible to continue in a southerly direction along the bridleway and complete the walk by joining the A684, Sedbergh Road. There is a large wind farm owned by Innogy just to the east of the summit. The wind farm, which can generate 6.5 Megawatts of electricity, was opened in September 2000 and at that time it was the largest wind farm to be built in England since 1993. The land on which the wind farm is built is out of bounds to unauthorized personnel. The block of land of which Lambrigg Fell is the summit — thus making it a Marilyn — lies in the extreme south-east of Lakeland, between the River Kent and the River Lune. It also contains the Marilyns of Hutton Roof Crags and Arnside Knott, and the summits of Benson Knott, Scout Hill, Warton Crag and Oaken Head.

Firbank Fell is a hill in Cumbria between the towns of Kendal and Sedbergh that is renowned as a place where George Fox, the founder of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), preached. Fox described what happened there on 13 June 1652 in this way: While others were gone to dinner, I went to a brook, got a little water, and then came and sat down on the top of a rock hard by the chapel. In the afternoon the people gathered about me, with several of their preachers. It was judged there were above a thousand people; to whom I declared God's everlasting truth and Word of life freely and largely for about the space of three hours. Because of Fox's preaching there, the site is sometimes called "Fox's Pulpit." A plaque on the rock there commemorates the event, which is sometimes considered the beginning of the Friends movement. Firbank Fell is now immortalised as a place of Quaker history in one of the four houses at the Quaker school Bootham School.

Grayrigg Forest is a hill in Cumbria, England, located on the eastern edge of what might be considered the Lake District. In August 2016 it became part of the eponymous national park. Reaching 494 metres (1,621 ft) above sea level, its summit is attainable from the less well-known Borrowdale valley. From near the summit, there are impressive views down into the gorge of the Lune valley, where road, West Coast Main Line railway, M6 motorway and the River Lune crowd between the outliers of the Lake District and the Howgill Fells. It is one of three summits, along with Winterscleugh and Whinfell Beacon, added to the list of Fellrangers in the 2019–2021 edition of Mark Richards' eight volumes of guidebooks, bringing the list to a total of 230. They were added when the Lake District National Park boundary was extended in 2019, including them for the first time.
