Sheffield Pike

Highlight • Climb

Sheffield Pike

Recommended by 137 hikers

Hikes to Sheffield Pike take you to a lofty perch above Glenridding with stunning views of Ullswater. It is a grassy summit ringed by crags on its north, east and south; to the west rises Helvellyn’s marvellous main ridge. Superb as either a main objective, or as a worthwhile detour on a longer day, Sheffield Pike does not disappoint.

    As someone born in the steel city of Sheffield, Sheffield Pike will always have a special place in my heart! And that view down to Ullswater is one of my favourites in the Lake District. A really stunning eastern fell.

      A great Wainwright with good views. A bit of a stiff climb up Heron Pike on a blustery day but well worth it.
