More about this scene
Here the Ullswater and Helvellyn fells present a magnificent view but changeable weather and difficult terrain can turn it into a formidable one. Its victims include Charles Gough who fell to his death on Helvellyn's Striding Edge where months later his dog was found alive, still guarding his remains. Gough, a Quaker, was buried in Tirril in the graveyard adjoining the Meeting House. He and his dog were immortalised in the poems 'Helvellyn' by Sir Walter Scott, and 'Fidelity' by William Wordsworth.
