NY8319 : The Cumbria Durham boundary

taken 13 years ago, 3 km from Grains o' Th' Beck, County Durham, England

The Cumbria Durham boundary
The Cumbria Durham boundary
Along the boundary there are regularly placed stones (this is number 40). We are just within Cumbria here (which has much less heather than County Durham) but will temporarily switch to the Durham side to ascend Ley Seat visible ahead. Above and beyond is Mickle Fell which is nowadays the highest point of County Durham but which used to reign supreme in Yorkshire (pre-1974 boundary changes when this would have been Westmorland and Yorkshire).
