Wetherlam wharrels down loadpot low
Nethermost leeming in mirehouse row
Rainsborrow lonscale waterside fall
Corridor shelter in beckside hall

Bannerdale greenburn capplefall knowe
Breasthigh crookabeck lazonby flow
Townhead hinning at waterhead spout
Overgates landsfoot outerside out

Oldchurch sallows in sunderland field
Underscar cottages pooley bield
Shivery brandelhow sprinkling sand
Bretherdale chapelhouse bedlands stand

Burnbanks cloven at thunacar force
Ellonby earthwork in fleetwith haws
Rowantree withered at dead dubbs fawe
Waterfall thunders overend ore

Goggleby guardhouse kitchenhill spy
Underwood bunkers on buttress high
Snittlegarth village in snarker slack
High street drunken on whitewater black

Settlement fewling at highground moor
Emerald southerndale causeway door
Honeypot monument herdwick height
Moorhouses stand over widewath white

Braesteads brimmer under broadness moat
Southernby riddings sail woodhouse boat
Manesty sergeant riggindale ark

Shipman sharrows at lowbridge middle
National marshalls swirl o swirral
Bessyboot naddles floshgate gimmer
Deepdale end of cumbrian summer
