Binsey is a freestanding hill in the northern Lake District, north of Bassenthwaite Lake. At 447 meters high, it's one of the smaller fells, but the views from the summit are surprisingly impressive. On a clear day, you can see not only the western Lakeland fells, but also the Solway Firth, Dumfries & Galloway, and even the Isle of Man.

If you stay on the road, you'll remain at 260 meters.

Detached from the surrounding hills, Binsey hill is a defining feature in the Lake District landscape. At 1,486 feet (447 m), its summit enjoys wonderful views over the fells towards Solway Firth and Scotland. You may even spot the Isle of Man on clear days. Binsey is the northernmost Wainwright.

You can't take your bike up very easily, but it's worth considering including a hike up to the top if you're passing nearby.
