    Geographically the centre of the Lakes; worth it just for the setting.

      In sharp contrast to the nearby Langdale Pikes, High Raise is grassy and dome-like. What this Wainwright fell lacks in mountain ruggedness it makes up for in height - at 762m it's the highest point of the Central fells of the Lake District. It's a great place from which to appreciate the Glaramara ridge and Great Gable looks stunning from this angle too.
