A Wainwright fell with one of the best views in all of Lakeland, despite being fairly dinky! There is some confusion as to whether or not this point — the highest point of the fell at 1,387 feet (423 m) — or the south top — marked 1,352 feet (412 m) should be classed as the 'Wainwright summit' for peak baggers - Alfred himself was confused about it when he first compiled the list - so I like to visit both! 😀

Hiking

It might be small but Low Fell has wonderful vistas and you could easily bag this one and nearby Fellbarrow with a two hour quick walk.
