Topped with wonderful, scrambly ground, Glaramara is the highest point of a rocky ridge of seemingly never-ending undulations dividing Langstrath Valley from the head of Borrowdale. Its twin summits, both encircled by crags, are stony platforms with views of ‘unsurpassed beauty’ over Borrowdale, as Wainwright put it.

Glaramara may win the prize for the Wainwright fell with the most unusual name. A challenging approach for most walkers (especially in poor weather), its position in the centre of the National Park means the views from the summit are exceptional from all angles.
