Beyond Names
Names are important. In the landscape, names are part of the culture, representing part of local history and with a meaning that sum up the character of the place – Lakeland names like Lingmoor (heather moor), Langstrath (long valley), Sleddale (flat or even valley), Great Gable (gable on a roof top).
