Stainmore
Stainmore is a remote geographic area in the Pennines on the border of Cumbria, County Durham and North Yorkshire. The name is used for a civil parish in the Eden District of Cumbria, England, including the villages of North Stainmore and South Stainmore. The parish had a population of 253 in the 2001 census, increasing to 264 at the Census 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 Stainmore Forest stretches further east into County Durham, towards Bowes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】year=1906 )〕
== Geography ==
Stainmore is drained by the River Belah and the River Balder. It is crossed by the Roman road from Bowes to Brough, now part of the A66, and formerly by the Stainmore Railway. Each of these lines of communication has made use of the relatively low broad saddle between the higher hills to north and south which is commonly referred to as the Stainmore Gap. The summit of the former railway is around above sea level, though the roads climb to slightly higher elevations.〔Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale Explorer map sheet OL19 ''Howgill Fells & Upper Eden Valley''〕 The Gap is coincident with the Stainmore Summit Fault which throws the relatively flat-lying Carboniferous rocks of the area down to the south.〔British Geological Survey 1:50,000 scale geological map sheet no 31 (England & Wales) ''Brough-under-Stainmore''〕 It acted as a conduit for Lake District-originated ice to pass eastwards during one or more glacial periods.
There are several RIGS sites in the Stainmore area, and Bowes Moor is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
