| Description: | Cautley Spout, 4 m. NE of Sedbergh. Looking W. River diversion at Cautley Spout. The valley of Bowderdale reaches its present head in the gap on the right of the photograph. Its original head was, however, in Cautley Crags on the extreme left of the photograph. This stream was captured by Cautley Beck (in foreground) in Pre-glacial or early Glacial times, and the Bowderdale Beck beheaded. Later glacial erosion in the cwm has eroded back the head to such an extent that Red Gill Beck has been captured and falls to the main valley in a hanging valley. Note breached moraine of cwm glacier at foot of cwm. |
