    The Helm may be diminutive by Lakeland standards, rising to a modest 607 feet (185 m), but what it lacks in height it makes up for with character. This flat-topped upland is home to native ponies, is the site of an Iron Age hillfort and boasts tremendous views towards the Lake District’s mountains to the north west and the Howgill Fells to the east.

      Amazing views into the Lakeland Fells and across to the Howgills. Well worth a trip up!

        Easy walk if you from the Station Inn but a lot steeper coming the other way. Great views over Kendal and out into Morecambe Bay .
