	Beda Fells central position in the delectable Martindale district may have been expected to endow it with special qualities as a viewpoint, nut this is not so; its upper slopes hide the beauties of the enclosing valleys nor are the groupings if the visible fells satisfactory. St Sunday Crag, however, is a notable object.
