Over the hills and far away.....
Cumbrian Fells

The fell, centre picture, is called Cat Bells and overlooks the town of Keswick and Derwent Water.

Cat Bells is a fell with a modest height of 451 metres (1,480 ft) but despite this it is one of the most popular fells in the area. It is situated on the western shore of Derwent Water within 3 miles (5 km) of the busy tourist town of Keswick.

The fell's unusual name may well have come from a distortion of "Cat Bields" meaning shelter of the wild cat, although this is not certain. The fell's name is sometimes written as Catbells.

And I learned a new word: Fell ;-)

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Boarischa Krautmo club
Thanks very much Markus, glad you like it.

Apparently the word fell is from Old Norse fell, fjall, "mountain". It describes a high and barren landscape feature, such as a mountain or moor-covered hill.

It really looks like mountains and not like hills...

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Christa1004 club
Many thanks for your visit Christa. I always think of mountains as being higher and more rugged;-) The title is actually the name of a song.

I think there was a song from Led Zeppelin, but the one I prefer is this one from Nightwish...

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Christa1004 club
Can only agree with you Christa. The Nightwish version is absolutely out of this world and certainly my favourite!

Enjoy your evening
