High Cup Nick & Pennine Way (October 2020)
Cumbria
UK
An Autumn walk in the North Pennines, starting in the pretty village of Dufton, Cumbria.
Dufton is a village and civil parish in Cumbria, England. Historically part of Westmorland, it lies in the Eden Valley and below Great Dun Fell. It is around 180m above sea level.
Dufton Pike, Knock Pike and Murton Pike are the result of volcanic activity, with the valley of High Cup Nick a magnificent example of glacial erosion.
High Cup Nick is a classic U-shaped valley high on the western flanks of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
A deep chasm on the Pennine fellside, this famous nick, a dramatic geological formation at the top of High Cup Gill is part of the well-known Whin Sill, and overlooks the best glaciated valley in Northern England.
