The Helvellyn Range from Whinlatter Forest. Lake District National Park, Cumbria, England.


The Helvellyn range forms a ridge extending for about 10 km, at no point dropping below 600 m. The ridge runs in a north–south direction, with Patterdale on the eastern side and the Thirlmere valley to the west. The village of Threlkeld lies directly to the north, below the northernmost point on the ridge, Clough Head. Generally, the slopes above Thirlmere are steep and grassy, whilst the Patterdale side exhibits rockier features, due to cirque glaciation on the north east side of the ridge. The Helvellyn range is about 10km long and runs from Dollywaggon Pike north to Clough Head.
