Snow On Pen-y-ghent

Introduction

I love finding things like this and thinking that is worth writing a poem about. Settle is one of my favourite holiday places and I am there every December.

This is where I found it on Facebook, shared by Ribble Dale. I see Pen-y-ghent when I am in Settle, but not usually clad in snow and sunshine.

Mike Harding is a resident of Settle, and I met him once in The Golden Lion, a really nice and talented man. His website is here:

The only song I know that mentions Pen-y-ghent is "Lord Hereford Knob" by Half Man Half Bisuit, which might sound a bit rude, but is a great social commentary folk song. Twmpa or Lord Hereford's Knob is a mountain in south-east Wales, and it is mentioned in the coda of the song by that name.

This is the song:
