    Tips

    Sour Howes is a 1,585-foot (483 m) Wainwright in the Far Eastern Lake District that is known locally as Applethwaite Common. Sour Howes has a lovely view down Windermere. I highly recommend an ascent of Sour Howes for sunset in the summer. The sun sets behind the bank of high fells to the west silhouetting iconic mountains like the Scafells, Great Gable and Crinkle Crags beautifully.
