(Little) Borrowdale - the Westmoreland One
"Borrowdale is a valley in the English Lake District. It is located in the county of Westmorland, and is sometimes referred to as Westmorland Borrowdale in order to distinguish it from a more famous Borrowdale located in Cumberland. "The valley straddles the eastern border of the Lake District National Park, and is part of Westmorland and Furness. [] The upper segment, above High Borrow Bridge, is very remote []."

The A6 - Going Up to Shap Summit
This is the Borrowdale section. "Shap Summit [] near to the Cumbria village of Shap in North West England, crossing the hills of the Lake District. "The route summit of the A6 road at Shap is approximately 1,350 feet (410 m) above sea level. Until 1970, when the nearby M6 motorway was completed, it was one of the major routes between England and Scotland. The route was often hazardous in poor weather, and often became impassable in winter during snowfall."

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.
