Where is this? (click here to see) - Clue: it's not a knight, it's not a castle or a pawn
It's the Bishop of Barf, a white painted stone marking the spot where, according to legend, the Bishop of Derry was killed falling from his horse in 1783, after drunkenly betting he could ride up the hill. Both the Bishop and his horse are said to be buried near a smaller stone, the Clerk, at the base of the hill. The stone is whitewashed each year by staff at the nearby Swan Hotel. It is close to Bassenthwaite Lake

Why not do something amazing today?
No, I am not talking about something as painful as giving blood! Why not make a small donation to the charity WaterAid. Just £15 can provide one person with a lasting supply of safe, clean water. Our ambitious fundraising target of £3210 is calculated to help one person for each of Wainwright's 214 fells!. Find out more and make a small donation
