    Outerside is a 1,955-foot (568 m) Wainwright fell in the north-west Lake District. Many sources include Outerside as a key feature of the Coledale Round but others see it as an optional extra. The summit is a great vantage point to look at Force Crag Mine just below Grisdedale Pike, which closed in 1990.
