    The stone wall isnt enough to tell people to keep out, they had to add barbed wire as well.

      The wall is dry stone; there’s no mortar holding it together. The barbed wire is to stop dafties climbing on it

    I recognized the Monument and had to click on to double check! Amazing 360° views from there.

      Yea, I live in south Cumbria. I couldn’t believe someone on Lemmy would set foot in my neck of the woods, but here we are.

        This is where we find out that we’re all Cumbrians - like some kind of weird Truman Show. I wouldn’t live anywhere else though, tried London for 6 years Came straight back.

        I’m in Kendal! Not a hardship to get to bonny Ulverston.

      Aye, in all my time living in Cumbria I’d never ventured up the Hoad. Superb views.

    This picture has such a style it could be on a stamp. Looks beautiful.
