Lyth Valley

The Lyth Valley is on the edge of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. It gives its name to an electoral ward (one of 45 in South Lakeland).[1]

The valley is sheltered by limestone hills and enjoys a relatively mild micro-climate for northern England. It is noted for its damson orchards.[2]

In recent years there has been controversy about the cost of the pumps which keep the flat bottom of the valley drained for the benefit of farmers.[3]
