Baz,
>I've never heard of the "Great" Langdale Axe Factory

Pike of Stickle is in the valley of Great Langdale. Just over the ridge to the south is Little Langdale. If travelling west from Ambleside, the valley splits in two at Elterwater, with the dividing ridge being that of Lingmoor Fell. The valleys are collectively known as the Langdales, but are two distinctly different valleys.
The Fell and Rick Climbing Club rock climbing guide is called "Great Langdale", there being no rock climbs in the valley of Little Langdale.
The only Langdale in Cumbria is that just east of Tebay, amongst the Howgill fells.
Regards,
TE.

Ah! But...

If there's no axe factories in the other Langdales, so it's unlikely anyone would get all that confused.
