Description
Castle Howe is a small volcanic " lump"
guarding Wrynose Pass and is locally known as a Neolithic hill fort. This picture was taken from the approaches to Fell Foot Farm looking towards Blea Tarn and Great Langdale.
Wrynose has probably been a trackway since these times and would have been an important route to take connecting the west coast via the Duddon Valley and Great Langdale where the axe factories are located. It also would lead eastwards towards Little Langdale and south to Coniston and the Furness Fells.
Wrynose Pass became part of the Roman Road serving troops who were stationed at Hardknott Fort (Mediobogdum).
