Editing Fred Hoyle (section)

===Decline and death===
{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2022}}
After his resignation from Cambridge, Hoyle moved to the [[Lake District]] and occupied his time with treks across the moors, writing books, visiting research centres around the world, and working on science ideas (that have been largely rejected). On 24 November 1997, while hiking across moorlands in west Yorkshire, near his childhood home in Gilstead, Hoyle fell into a steep ravine called [[Shipley Glen]]. He was located about 12 hours later by a party using search dogs. He was hospitalised for two months with a broken shoulder bone, and [[pneumonia]] and kidney problems, both resulting from hypothermia. Thereafter he entered a marked decline, suffering from memory and mental agility problems. In 2001, he suffered a series of strokes and died in [[Bournemouth]] on 20 August of that year.
