Wastwater From Brown Tongue
Early 20th Century
Looking West down the flank of Brown Tongue, a small ridge which splits Lingmell Gill. The grassy slopes of the Tongue descend to the valley bottom and head of Wastwater. Small trees scattered across the fells and valley bottom. Opposite are the fells of Buck Barrow, Middle Fell and Yewbarrow with the gap of Great Door clearly visible. The Wasdale Head road runs along the base of Yewbarrow.
