13th July 2008- Upper Teesdale and Cronkley Fell.

Wild, open but also beautiful, the landscape of the Upper Dale is unique. With its white-washed farmsteads dotting the hillsides this section of Teesdale is not only a working land but also a great place to walk in one of England's last wilderness.

These photographs are a selection from a couple of days out on the fells at about the same period.
