    Tips

    December 3, 2019

    Not to be confused with Middle Earth’s Weathertop, this satellite of the Coniston Fells is nevertheless a fantastical hill. A textures mismatch of rugged crag and expansive fellside, Wetherlam is a swirl of spurs and coves threaded by gills and becks. The sort of peak you could spend an age on, oblivious to the passage of time.

      My favourite ascent of Wetherlam is via Wetherlam Edge, a great scramble!

        July 14, 2025

        With a summit height of 2,502 feet (763 m), Wetherlam offers a truly rewarding hiking experience amidst the stunning mountain scenery of the Lake District. From the top, enjoy expansive views of the Coniston Fells, Little Langdale, and the picturesque patchwork of green valleys that give the region its timeless charm.
