Hesk Fell

Woodend is situated between the Duddon Valley and the village of Ulpha and the valley of Eskdale, high up on Birker Fell, approximately 950 feet above sea level. It is claimed to have been an early Quaker settlement. With views towards Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, it is very close to Devoke Water, one of the Lake District tarns.

Whitfell (or sometimes Whit Fell) is a hill of 573 metres (1,880 ft) in the southwestern part of the Lake District. It is the highest point between Black Combe and Harter Fell on the broad ridge to the west of the Duddon Valley. Views from the summit include the full length of the Duddon Valley including its estuary; the western side of the Coniston fells; the Eskdale fells including Scafell and Bowfell; much of western Cumbria including the estuary of the Rivers Esk, Mite and Irt; the Isle of Man; as well as the hills to the south culminating in Black Combe. The hill is relatively infrequently visited, and is a fairly characterless grassy mound, extensively grazed by sheep, though with a very large cairn, whose stones may be from a tumulus. A bridleway crosses the fell to the north of the summit, but it is probably more frequently visited on a round including Burn Moor at 1,780 feet (540 m), Kinmont Buck Barrow at 1,754 feet (535 m), and Buck Barrow at 1,799 feet (548 m) from the summit of the Corney Fell road, a route described by Alfred Wainwright in the "Whit Fell" chapter of his book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.

Stainton Pike is a hill in the English Lake District, near Waberthwaite, Cumbria. It is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. It reaches 1,550 feet (470 m) and Wainwright's anticlockwise circuit also visits The Knott at 1,071 feet (326 m) (this latter not to be confused with its namesake The Knott in the eastern Lake District, or the other "outlying fell" near Stickle Pike, or Knott north of Skiddaw). The walk also passes the waterfall Rowantree Force and collection of ancient enclosures and hut circles known as Barnscar or City of Barnscar.

Great Worm Crag is a hill in south west of the English Lake District, north of Ulpha, Cumbria. It is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. It reaches a height of 1,400 feet (430 m) and Wainwright's route is a clockwise circuit from the fell road between Ulpha and Eskdale Green. Mark Richards in his Fellrangers book series describes it as "A lovely place to roam ... blessed with spacious views" and offers two ascent routes from the south west and one, via Birkerthwaite, from the north west.

Devoke Water is a small lake in the south west of the Lake District in North West England. It is the largest tarn in the Lake District, a tarn being a specific type of glacial lake formed when a hollow is created on a mountain. The lake is 1.17 kilometres (0.73 mi) long, has an area of 0.34 square kilometres (0.13 sq mi) and lies at an altitude of 236 metres (774 ft) on Birker Fell. Its outflow, to the north west, is Linbeck Gill, which joins the River Esk before flowing into the Irish Sea at Ravenglass. The lake is in the unitary authority of Cumberland and the ceremonial county of Cumbria. Its south-western shore forms part of the south-western boundary of Eskdale parish, in which it is situated. Devoke Water can be reached via a bridle track. There is a two-storey stone boathouse-cum-refuge and a ruined stable. The fishing rights to the lake are owned by Millom Anglers and it is stocked with brown trout. It also holds perch.

Ulpha is a small village and civil parish in the Duddon Valley in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. Historically in Cumberland, it forms part of the Cumberland unitary authority area. At Ulpha a road leaves the Duddon Valley to cross Birker Fell to the valley of Eskdale. In the 2001 census the parish had a population of 159, reducing at the 2011 Census to 128.The name Ulpha is believed to have originated with the meaning of 'hill frequented by wolves'. The name was derived from the Old Norse words ulfr meaning wolves and haugr meaning hill.

Dunnerdale Fells is an upland area in the English Lake District, between Ulpha and Broughton Mills, Cumbria. It is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. Wainwright's route starts from a minor road on the west of the fell, in the valley of the River Duddon, to reach a cairned summit at 920 feet (280 m), and returns on the same route for part of the way before making a small anticlockwise loop. He mentions "the feature of most interest being a remarkable profusion of ancient cairns".

The Duddon Valley is a valley in the southern Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. The River Duddon flows through the valley, rising in the mountains between Eskdale and Langdale, before flowing into the Irish Sea near Broughton in Furness. In its lower reaches it is bounded by the Furness Fells and Harter Fell. The part of the valley near the village of Ulpha is marked as "Dunnerdale" on Ordnance Survey maps, and upstream towards the village of Seathwaite is Hall Dunnerdale. The name "Dunnerdale" is often used as a synonym for "Duddon Valley", but people, including Alfred Wainwright, prefer the name "Duddon Valley". He wrote in The Southern Fells, "I ought to mention that I am aware that the Duddon Valley is also properly known as Dunnerdale, a name I haven't used in the book, preferring the former; just as I never refer to Blencathra by its better-known modern name of Saddleback. It's a matter of personal choice.".The "Dunnerdale Fells" are between Broughton Mills and the main Duddon Valley. The civil parish of "Dunnerdale with Seathwaite" includes the valley of Dunnerdale Beck as well as the main length of the River Duddon. Advertisements for holiday cottages at Hall Dunnerdale describe the cottages as being "in the Duddon Valley". From the top of the valley, steep motor roads lead west over the Hardknott Pass to Eskdale and east over the Wrynose Pass to the Langdale valleys. A less steep pass to Eskdale over Birker Fell leaves the valley at Ulpha, with extensive views of the Scafell range.
