Glenderaterra Beck
Glenderaterra Beck is a pretty stream in Cumberland.
The beck runs from its source on Burnt Horse through the valley between Lonscale Fell and Blencathra to its confluence with the River Greta at Brundholme near Threlkeld.
The top of the stream from Burnt Horse is widely cited as the source of the Glenderaterra. However another claim to the source may be made by the Roughten Gill which starts on Blencathra, under Halls Fell top and turns the corner at a delightful and well-hidden sheepfold: this stream is longer than the stream in Sinen Gill which in turn is longer than the Burnt Horse contributor.
On its southerly course, Glenderaterra Beck is joined by Sinen Gill and Roughten Gill, draining Blease Fell on Blencathra, and, lower down, Whit Beck, emanating from Jenkin Hill on Skiddaw.
