Penbreck, Carlisle

The upper glen of the Capel Burn

Uploader's Comments

The steep hillside on the opposite side of the burn has the unusual name Penbreck Slidders. The online Dictionary of the Scots Language defines a slidder as a 'narrow steep hollow or track running down a hill-side, especially when covered with loose stones, a scree.'
