The small wooded hill [centre right] of Round Howe is situated close to the right bank of the Swale and is unusual in that it is cut off from the hills behind it by a valley which makes a semi-circular curve around the back of the hill, the eastern end of the valley seen here centre left. This must mark an old meander course of the Swale, but the valley floor is now considerably higher than the nearby river.
