The Howgill Fells are uplands in Northern England between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, lying roughly within a triangle formed by the town of Sedbergh and the villages of Ravenstonedale and Tebay.[1] The name Howgill derives from the Old Norse word haugr meaning a hill or barrow, plus gil meaning a narrow valley.[2]
