Ian Battersby pans for gold in lesser spotted Swindale
SWINDALE is a dinky dale hiding in the far east of the Lake District. Famed peaks are absent, so you’ll likely be wearing a greedy grin at not having to share the towering crags that lead up to forgotten fells such as Branstree and Selside Pike. They are ideal stages for viewing the grandeur of Mardale Head, High Street and Swindale.
Yet the dale itself steals much of the limelight. Swindale Beck
