Think You Know The Lakes? Prove it! ๐ฉโ๐
Below are some intriguing quiz questions for Wannabe Lakeland Connoisseurs: look at my perplexing pictures and tell me where I am!
It’s easy to imagine two levels of difficulty:
1) Where am I roughly? E.g. which town or which mountain am I near; ๐งญ
2) Where am I exactly, along with enriching detail and stories to impress us all! ๐
You can take part in each new Connoisseur’s Challenge in real time before I give you the answer in our fun Lakeland Chronicles Facebook group and you will have all the “Where’s Sab?” quiz questions and answers below in due course.
I’m aware there are many extremely knowledgeable fells aficionados out there. So, while some questions might be easy, others will be less so. Hopefully, there will be something for everyone in the end, and if you didn’t know before… you will after! Happy hunting!

I’m on the lowest of Wainwright’s Northern Fells looking across to the highest, which is peeking out from behind the third highest!
Now, I’m just getting to know the Lakeland Fells, but I’m already starting to recognise that double-topped peak, just back of my parents place in… Keswick!
I’m probably on the northwest side of Latrigg looking over to majestic Skiddaw, which is just peeping out on the left from behind its sneaky Little Man.
There’s another identical letter box right next to this one, and the strangely named PUPs clock behind it is a distinctive cast iron beauty.
We’re on the corner of Main Street and Bank Street in Keswick.
Were not on your average Intercity here, folks!
Here I’m on a genuine steam train drawing into Haverthwaite Station on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway at the bottom of Lake Windermere. That’s not me, by the way – he was puffing nearly as hard as the engine!
Is that a jackdaw looking at another ‘daw’?
Keswick opposite the Co-Op on Main Street, in the little corner with ‘my’ bench and the Rotary Club wishing well.
I hope, if you park yourself here, you’ll be able to tell the time quite accurately…
The sundial (my dad’s sundial!!) in Hope Park in Keswick.
I say ‘my dad’s sundial’ because he bought and donated this new one to the town as the old one was broken.
Salisbury’s got Stone Henge; what have we got in the Lakes, I wonder?
A cool bench on the Eleventrees road to the east of Keswick, on the way to the Castlerigg stone circle.
