Cumbria Postcard: Striding Edge from Helvellyn, Lake District Mountain XT2079.


This real photo postcard captures the knife-edged arête of Striding Edge, one of the most famous and challenging ridge scrambles in the English Lake District. The view is taken from the summit plateau of Helvellyn, looking back across the rocky spine that was carved out by glacial activity during the last Ice Age. This iconic landmark has been a magnet for adventurous Victorian and Edwardian fell-walkers, immortalized in the works of poets like Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Sir Walter Scott.


This is an unused standard size postcard. The postcard has very slight surface wear.
