Quarrying
Lingmoor Fell's north eastern slopes above the villages of Elterwater and Chapel Stile have long been quarried for its high quality Westmorland green slate, the Burlington quarry at Elterwater has been worked for over 300 years and is still in production today, turning out over 800 tonnes of slate annually. Many of the quarries have closed over the years and the crags are now used by rock climbers.
