130 baker's north YORKSHIRE 



a broad hollow may be seen a mass of hills in which the three 

 peaks of Cross Fell, Dun Fell and Scordale Head are conspicu- 

 ous, and the head of a curious boat-shaped glen called High Cup 

 Nick, and the far off peaks of the Lake country looming dimly 

 on the edge of the horizon. Towards the north is the great 

 Teesdale hollow, with Falcon Clints and the white streak of the 

 Caldron Snout immediately in front, and behind them Widdy 

 Bank and Harwood Fell and the ridge of moorland which 

 separates Teesdale from Weardale, and, lower down the dale, 

 the fir plantations of the High Force and Winch Bridge, with 

 wall-bounded bright green fields and the Duke of Cleveland's 

 white-washed farm-houses. On the east the view stretches over 

 the woods and slopes and lower hills of the country round about 

 Barnard Castle and Richmond, and embraces the whole breadth 

 of the richly-cultivated vale of York, and as far as the Hamble- 

 ton Hills. And on the south over Lunedale and Balderdale 

 and the Stainmoor depression are the innumerable undulated 

 peaks which "cluster round the upper part of Swaledale and 

 Yoredale, and beyond them the more abrupt outlines of Whern- 

 side, Ingleborough and Penyghent. 



At the eastern extremity of the ridge at the summit of the 

 slope towards Westmorland Myosotis alpestris grows. The 

 following are the other more noteworthy plants of the summit
