Miterdale and Muncaster Fell

Miterdale and Muncaster Fell background

The River Mite flows from the southern flanks of Illgill Head down to the coast at Ravenglass. Its never a wide river, especially near its source in the upper reaches of Miterdale.

This photo was taken on an overcast evening walk along the little river towards Burnmoor Tarn. The view back down the valley shows the winding River Mite with distinctive Muncaster Fell in the distance.
