Western Fells #4 (Drumlins)

This is the 4th image in my Western Fells set to form the sixth part of my UK Mountain Ranges project. In this project I intend through these simple and intimate and sometimes gritty images to convey the drama and wild ruggedness of the UK's mountains in all types of weather at all times of the day.

 

The Western Fells are a range of mountains in the English Lake District. As with the rest of the Lake District, these hills are very popular with walkers although perhaps as they are slightly more remote it is still possible to enjoy a day exploring them without running into too many people.

 

Taken on a very fine day on the way up the Tongue towards Great Gable and looking back down the Ennerdale Valley, small Drumlins pepper the valley floor. These are mounds of glacial deposits that are surprisingly large once you start navigating around them.
