Underskiddaw’s annual bonfire and firework display is one of the largest of many erupting just after sunset in the Vale of Keswick.

Tonight’s clear skies and full moon lighting the background skyline of the western fells, still peppered with flickering head-torch lights as the last hikers come down home from Grisedale Pike (791 m.)
