High Cup Nick from High Cup Gill, Cumbria, UK

---

Found in Cumbria to the west of Mickle Fell between Murton Fell and Dufton Fell is a remarkable natural formation known as High Cup — a vast 'hole' in the moorside, similar in form to an elongated crater. A waterfall at the head of the Cup is called High Cup Nick. The feature is well seen from the A66 road. The Pennine Way goes past High Cup on its cross-watershed trek from Middleton-in-Teesdale to Dufton. This photo of it was taken on a summers day from the bottom of the Gill.
