This in turn flows through a U-shaped valley and finally – renamed Howes Beck – passes through Bampton to the Lowther.

Between Cawdale Beck and the Haweswater catchment further south runs Wether Hill's three mile eastern ridge.

The east ridge however continues over Bampton Fell to a series of rocky tops above the northern shore of Haweswater.

South of Wether Hill the main ridge narrows before climbing to Red Crag, an outlier of High Raise.

The western face of Wether Hill falls steeply into Rampsgill, part of the Martindale valley system, with some broadleaved plantations at the base.

This is a round grassy dome from which a rocky spur descends northwards over Brownthwaite Crag and Steel Knotts.
