Melmerby is a small village in Cumbria, England. The village is 9 miles to the east of Penrith. Melmerby is supposed to have taken its name from the residence of Máel Muire, a presumed Norse-Gael who lived nearby in the 9th century.
In previous walks we have traversed the splendidly name Fiend’s Fell on the way to Cross Fell (see pics 1 and 2) before dropping down to the valley (pic 3). In ancient times it was known as "Fiends Fell" and believed to be the haunt of evil spirits. St Augustine of Canterbury is said to have blessed the hill when he arrived here on his travels so it became known as Cross Fell in the Christian tradition. The deans that lived there moved off to Fiend’s Fell
