Wrynose Pass

Although most academic sources characterise "Vreini" in this context as a personal name, it has also been explained as suggesting "the horse power needed to climb it".

[2] Other suggested origins are from Old Norse ravn hals, "pass of the raven",[3] and wreye nes, the "twisted headland".

[7] The pass separates the Furness Fells from the Bowfell-Crinkle Crags massif.

At the top of the Wrynose Pass is the Three Shire Stone, marking the meeting point of the historic counties of Cumberland, Lancashire and Westmorland.

[8] At the bottom of Wrynose is Fell Foot Farm, a 17th-century, Grade II listed, National Trust property.
