The moorland lies just to the north of the low point on the watershed between East Allendale and Rook Hope where a road crosses passing the elegant cone of Shorngate Cross Currick; the location is in fact on the watershed itself. The fence also marks the boundary between County Durham, (far side of fence) and Northumberland, (near side). The cloud-shadowed moorland in the distance is Dry Rigg - it's not dry!
