The River Gelt is a river in Cumbria, England and a tributary of the River Irthing. The source of the Gelt is close to Cumbria's border with Northumberland, where it rises (as New Water) at Butt Hill. The stream runs down Geltsdale Middle in the direction of Cumrew Fell, before turning northwards. After a short while, New Water is joined by Old Water in the King's Forest of Geltsdale. Old Water runs from Crookburn Pike. After the two streams combine, the river continues flowing to the northwest, passing between Talkin Fell and Castle Carrock Fell, then the villages of the same names. Having flown through Greenwell and under the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, the Gelt continues through Gelt Woods, overlooked by a Roman inscription dating from 207 AD and known as "the written rock of Gelt". Other stories and legends are associated with Abraham's Cave. In 1570 it saw the Battle of Gelt Bridge, when Leonard Dacre and his forces were defeated by Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon. The Gelt joins the River Irthing at Edmond Castle, about 10 miles east of Carlisle.

Heads Nook railway station served the village of Heads Nook, south-west of Brampton, Cumbria, England. The station was on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. It was closed in 1967 as part of the Beeching cuts. After which the station was left derelict until 1975 when it was demolished by British Rail. Flanked by railway police at midnight, B.R. workmen set to work on the demotion as 30 residents watched in disbelief. There had been a campaign to have it reopened as an unmanned halt. Consequently this move was seen as very underhand by campaigners. When interviewed by a newspaper reporter at the time, Mr Bernard Widdowson, chairman of Heads Nook Villagers Association at the time, said they were angry because the demolition work had come at a time when their negotiations with British Rail and Cumbria County Council were at a peak. A British Rail spokesman said the demolition was necessary for safety reasons with the platform. If it was to be reopened, temporary wooden structures could be used. B.R. also said that the demolition work needed to be conducted at night, as that was the only time there were no trains using the line. The station lamps were sold off. Two of them can be seen in the village, one not far away from the station just over the railway bridge. Not much of the station can be seen anymore as nature has reclaimed the platforms for its own. Today they look like nothing more than leafy green banks in the railway cutting, which the casual observer would pass by without any further thought.
