 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.Gavel Fell and the other Loweswater Fells form the extremity of the northern arm.The Loweswater Fells have been compared to the digits of a hand, radiating out south westward from the "palm" centred on Loweswater village.
