 Westwards the hills diminish toward the coastal plain of Cumberland.At the central hub of the high country are Great Gable and its satellites, while two principal ridges fan out on either flank of Ennerdale, the western fells in effect being a great horseshoe around this long wild valley.The highest section of the northern branch is formed by the trio of Buttermere fells, High Crag, High Stile and Red Pike.
