By Lake District standards Place Fell is a rather isolated hill, with Boredale Hause its only tether to neighbouring fells. As such, it’s often overlooked. But this is a rocky gem, cupped in the crook of Ullswater and offering a magnificent viewpoint over the lake, and is thoroughly deserving of an expedition in its own right.

From the top of Place Fell you have a beautiful view of the surroundings! Enjoy.
