Lower Gelt in snow
The river Gelt comes down from the Pennines around Jockey Shield to eventually flow into the River Irthing. The lower Gelt woods just outside Hayton offer great woodland walks with old beech trees and wildlife in abundance.
These pictures show the heavy snows from 2010.
Upper Geltsdale
Upper Geltsdale or Jockey Shield is a large RSPB nature reserve. There are great walks here, good views and you will probably have the hills to yourself.
