Embark on a challenging hike up Skiddaw, England's fourth-highest mountain, on this rewarding loop from Keswick. The trail covers 10.2 miles (16.4 km) with a significant elevation gain of 2900 feet (884 metres), typically taking around 5 hours and 53 minutes to complete. You'll follow a well-trodden, stony path, often called the Jenkin Hill Bridleway, which offers a steady gradient through rounded, grassy slopes. As you ascend, you'll experience diverse terrain and expansive panoramic views, including Borrowdale to the south and the wilder "Back o' Skiddaw" area.
This difficult hike requires good fitness, but its accessibility from Keswick makes it a popular choice. You can start directly from the town center, eliminating the need for a car. Be prepared for potentially cold and windy conditions at the summit, even on milder days in the valley, so bring suitable clothing and sturdy footwear. The route is generally straightforward, but the upper sections are exposed to the elements.
Skiddaw is known as a "gentle giant" among the Lake District's higher peaks, offering a manageable yet significant mountain climb. From the summit, you can enjoy unparalleled 360-degree views of the entire Lake District, including Keswick, Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite Lake, and other major fells. The mountain itself is formed from ancient Skiddaw slate, and a circular stone-built wind shelter from 1876 stands at the top, adding a touch of history to your achievement.
