    Hiking

    John Dalton was born here in Eaglesfield in 1766. His studies of Meteorology necessitated lots of hill walking. Before the Lakeland fells were mapped, he was considered a local expert on the Lake District mountains as the only way to take temperature/humidity readings was to hike the fells themselves, which he did regularly. He was a gifted chemist and his investigations led him to discover modern atomic theory.
