Honister Hause (332 m.), showing the road down Honister Pass from the slate mine. The figures on the “gates” are formed of layers of flat slate. A reminder of the Walking Song in The Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkein)
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
