North Westmorland Rural District

North Westmorland was a rural district in Westmorland, England from 1935 to 1974. It now forms part of the Eden district of Cumbria. It was formed in 1935 by the merger of the East Westmorland Rural District, Shap urban district and most of West Ward Rural District. [1] The district entirely surrounded the Appleby municipal borough.

Hoff Beck

Hoff Beck is a stream that is a tributary of the River Eden in the English county of Cumbria. The headwaters of the beck lie within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and include the tributary streams of Dry Beck, Scale Beck, Asby Beck and Oak Beck. The tributaries drain the Orton Fells and the north side of Great Asby Scar. Dry Beck flows into Scale Beck just to the south of the hamlet of Drybeck, whilst Asby Beck flows through the centre of the village of Great Asby. Hoff Beck itself forms with the confluence of Scale Beck and Asby Beck. Shortly after the confluence, the beck flows over Rutter Force, a 30-foot (9.1 m) high waterfall. Flowing north, the Hoff Beck receives the water of the Oak Beck before leaving the national park and passing the hamlet of Hoff. It then flows through the village of Colby before entering the River Eden downstream of the town of Appleby-in-Westmorland. The Environment Agency defines three waterbodies for the Hoff Beck and its catchment area and tributaries. Hoff Beck (lower) comprises the area up to the confluence of the Scale Beck and Asby Beck, Hoff Beck (upper) comprises the area along the Asby Beck above that confluence, and Scale Beck comprises the area along the Scale Beck above that confluence. In 2019, Hoff Beck (upper) and Scale Beck were classified as having a good ecological status, whilst Hoff Beck (lower) had a moderate status. In 2022, Hoff Beck (lower) was classified as having a good status, whilst no classifications were recorded for the other two. The Dales High Way, a 90-mile (140 km) long-distance footpath that runs from Saltaire, in West Yorkshire, to Appleby, follows the Hoff Beck from Rutter Force to Bandley Bridge, about half way between Hoff and Colby.

Crackenthorpe is a village and civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria, England. It is about 12 miles (19 km) south east of Penrith. The village was on the A66 road until it was by-passed. The population of the civil parish was less than 100 at the 2011 Census. Details are therefore included in the parish of Long Marton. Crackenthorpe Hall is a large grade II listed house which was rebuilt in the early 17th century and restructured in circa 1685 by Hugh & Thomas Machell. It has since been subdivided into several dwellings. It was reputedly haunted by the ghost of Peg Sneddle, the grey lady of Crackenthorpe. Her body was exhumed and buried in the bed of the River Eden under a boulder of Shap granite known as Peg's stone.
