The word 'helm' means hilltop, and the Helm is a fierce easterly wind which can last for days on end blowing along the Fellside. It is most strongly felt at Milburn

Actually, Helmsdale has nothing to do with hilltops. It comes from the Norse 'Hjalmundal', meaning 'Dale of the Helmets' - the village took its name from the Strath. But this is pedantry.

Howgill Castle, lying just to the east of Milburn in the Eden Valley, has nothing to do with the Howgill Fells,which are also located in Cumbria near the market town of Sedbergh.
