NY7220 : Hilton Beck from Thornless Hill
taken 2 years ago, near to Hilton, Cumbria, England
Hilton Beck from Thornless Hill
The larger scales of map show the public footpath here as being at the bottom of the steep bank, but invasive gorse rather deterred one from trying anything down there. The top of the bank, however, remains largely in keeping with the name of the rising ground behind the photographer - Thornless Hill. It is not improved pasture like the enclosed fields towards the village of Hilton, but is mainly free of prickly walker-deterrent vegetation. The road is the one to Hilton from Appleby and likely the one that a SatNav would bring you to, since the road south of Hilton passes through Warcop training area and is confusingly missing from such navigation technology (presumably because sometimes it is closed to the public).
